Adopt a Solider

I myself am a Sailor in the United States Navy, I am doing very well and joined to better provide for my girlfriend and her three wonderful girls. I took the responsibility to provide for the girls as if they were my own, I consider them all my family and I am very happy. - This is not about me, it is about the girls and my girlfriend. I consider myself very lucky to be able to do my best for the benefit of the ones I love.

Adopt A Solider.
Solider's Angels

If you want to make a difference in the lives of the men and women serving in the Armed Forces adopt a solider and send them your well wishes to encourage them in their time of need. I can tell you from experience that being away from your family for over a year at a time is hard on a person. I am lucky to have a caring girlfriend that gives her all to do her best for me.

As in any area of life, alot of time goes by without seeing people you love, alot of time passes without communications. The more people that are writing and sending support, the more Soliders will feel supported and loved. The Soliders will be able to function and be there for each other if they can keep the moral up in the groups.

"With Rising Suicide Rates, Army Urges Soldiers to Act".

"The Army plans to build on the groundwork it has laid as National Suicide Prevention Week kicks off next week with the theme, “Shoulder to Shoulder, No Soldier Stands Alone,” said Brig. Gen. Rhonda Cornum, assistant surgeon general for force protection.

The theme emphasizes the benefit of soldiers helping each other deal with tough problems, including those Cornum said are most frequently linked to soldier suicides: relationship problems, legal and financial difficulties and occupational and operational issues and stresses."

If you can, find out about how you can help the soliders in need. Look at the adoption websites above and see if anyone could use your help. Stand with these men and women as they fight for our country.
