Great idea.

I know that I've posted some links to websites to adopt soliders. Look back in the last couple of pages in this thread.

Well, thanks.

Thats a negative ghostrider... I have not heard back Because I'm not family I probably won't.

I wrote to the solider that I gave the address to in my last post. I actually got a response. I have had time to write back. That is until yesterday. Once I find the letter, I'll give you some of what he said.

i love all of you

i am proud of you

Well, he gave me the information and I will post it with this message. So if you wanna write go ahead.

Here's the info:

SPC LONG, ROBERT C
HHC/2-101 BTB, 2 BDE, 101 AA
CAMP STRYKER
APO AE 09398

I may have another guy to write to. I met him through MYSPACE. I sent him a message asking if we wanted to have people to wirte to when he is off in Iraq. When I checked this morning, he hadn't replied. But if he does and gives me his information, would you guys like to write to him as well?

It's like when I get a letter from a friend as a opposed to an email it has more meaning. They took the time to sit down and write the letter. Emailing is cool but there's just that small difference.

I haven't heard anything from him yet. Have you heard anything? I just hope that he sends me a letter. I want to get to know him. Maybe invite him to our spring show at my school. I'll let you know if something changes.

Thanks Hydrok. I'll keep you posted if and when I get something from him. You've been so much help.
