Emailing or writing soldiers in Iraq?

I know the guys get lonesome and need support from those of us here at home, and I would like to be a pen pal to them if I could figure out a way. Does anyone know how I can do this. Years ago Dear Abby used to post addresses to send the troops Christmas wishes, but I never see anything like that anymore and it seems like our troops need our support now more than ever. Any help in this matter would be deeply appreciated.
Emailing or writing soldiers in Iraq?
Operation Dear Abby is still there but through online, just type it in. It was stopped going by mail because of anthrax scares. You can also use websites like http://www.americasupportsyou.mil or http://www.anysoldier.com or http://www.anymarine.com or http://www.anysailor.com or http://www.anyairman.com
Reply:I will probably get shouted down for saying this but where did you get the idea that deployed Soldiers are 'lonesome and need support?'.


I am married to an Army Officer who has served two tours in Iraq. He was far too busy to be 'lonesome' and was lovingly supported by me, his mother, our children, his friends, our extended family, our neighbours....get the picture? Soldiers serving in Iraq haven't hatched from eggs! They have parents, siblings, friends, wives, girlfriends.... When you are deployed suddenly everyone you have ever known from your primary school teachers to your bank manager wants to send you something!


You have to understand that our mail takes forever to get to them and it is seriously irritating to know that there is mail clogging the flights from people who just want to be 'part of it' or bag themselves a boyfriend.
Reply:Hey don't worry I know what you mean and a faster way to send them a letter when you find someone to write to is www.motomail.us .....but you have to know their unit and stuff like that...but they recieve your letter in a day....I hope you will be sincere and not screw any soldier over....they don't deserve that!
