Let me find out from Celtic the site that she gave me and I will try and pass it on to you. Good luck with finding and getting one.


I have not yet reached my goal, and I am not perfect. But Christ has taken hold of me. So I keep on running and struggling to take hold of the prize. My friends, I don't feel that I have already arrived. But I forget what is behind, and I struggle for wha

I want to start an online support group for our soliders who are overseas. I want it get group of kids together who wants to do this too and to pick a solider to be a pen pal with. Instead of writing letters and waiting for snail mail to get to them, we could be pen pals with them using the internet. I just don't know how to get started so if anyone who wants to join in

Relax... chances are he just went home at the end of his tour.

I checked it out and this is a totally awesome place to do it. I registered as an individual, but you can do it as that or as a group. Laterz!

I would love to do that. A few years ago I sent about 450 cards overseas to a friend who was stationed in Turkey. When he came back, he was so thankful to have received them. So even if you can't find a way to email them, you can always send them care packages or packs or handmade cards for them to spread throughout their base.

No, he hasn't responded to the first letter I sent so I sent him another letter like last week. I am getting worried because he hasn't responded yet. I know that it takes awhile to send and recieve a letter and I figured what day I'd get a response back but when I didn't I sent out the second one. I sure hope that he responds to this one and nothing bad has happened to him. I am trying to keep him in my thoughts and prayers.

Emma234 - Look at the post beneath BigSlickAK. It's the one I posted with a link that you can click on that takes you to a site with adopting a soldier and what not. You may have to look at that site a little bit to find out if you can do that. But hey, it's a place to start right?

Sbcatcher24-I have included a link in this post that you can check out in order to adopt a soldier. I hope that this helps you- what you want.

I'll keep my eyes open, and put some feelers out.

People are getting deployed left and right now... so I'll see if I can find some.
