Christmas Support for our Troops

Friday, December 4th, 2009

As always, I hope this finds each of you and all of you in good health and cheer. Before I go on, a reminder, Today 4 Dec 2009 is the Priority and First Class Mail Deadline for stuff to reach the troops by Christmas.

Army Infantry Mom is a friend of mine on Hub Pages. She has a son in the Army that recently returned from Afghanistan, and is a real force for good on supporting our troops through her blogs and articles. I’ve put a link to one of her more recent posts on Hub Pages as she has done some thorough research on troop support organizations and she is a far better writer than I so, please follow the link below. I just wanted to add to that that it is never to late to show your support for these proud men and women serving us. So please give what you can be it a little or a lot, you will feel good and I can unequivocally guarantee that you will bring a smile.

God Bless and Take good care…

Christmas 4 The Troops >>>

Here is another site you may find of interest, It’s hosted by Xerox Corp and is a way to send a Thank You Card for free to a troop. You don’t pick who it goes to but whoever gets it will be certain to appreciate the sentiments. Take a minute (that’s truly all it takes) and send one now. GBY

Lets Say Thanks >>>

As always if you have found this useful please pass along thanks….

Hooah Mail Starts Today 1 Dec 2009

Monday, November 30th, 2009

ARMY Strong | Communications at the Speed of Life

A great new service has begun for our guys serving in Afghanistan. Hooah Mail is a program that originated with the British Armed Forces and was picked up by the Marines in 2004. It was recently contracted for the Army by the Military Postal Service (MPS) and is now available for most of our troops in Afghanistan; with more coming on line.
This is not an ‘Any Soldier’ service, you must register with the site, and mail can only be posted to an individual in a unit. So it is strictly for family and friends of service members deployed. It’s not an e-mail service either. You can think of it as electronically transported mail, your soldier will be delivered a sealed piece of mail, and the electronic system uses the same security as banks and financial institutions.
The site instructions are easy to follow, I would recommend that you compose your letter on a word processing document first and then cut and paste it into the form once you pull it up. The site has a 30 minute time out limit so if you are writing a long letter or you like to take your time composing your words. You could time out and lose your work. You might want to cruise through the FAQ before you write your first letter as the questions are right to the point and the answers easy to follow.
So follow the link and send your Huney, Son, Daughter, Mom, Dad, or Friend a Big Man Hug from Hammer Jammer 1! Hoooah!!
