Valentine's Day Cards and Messages for Our Troops

Do you remember when you were in grade school and you hoped to receive a Valentines from that special someone? And then when you didn't, how sad you were? Well, here's an opportunity to make a soldier feel special on Valentine's Day.

Valentines For Troops is a website which promotes sending Valentine's Day cards or other messages to our troops. It's co-founder, Shauna Fleming, is asking individuals, schools, churches and businesses to participate by having their students, congregations and customers make a Valentine, write a letter, email message or prayer note and mail it to a service member by going to www.anysoldier.com where you can get an address for a soldier. There are also drop off sites listed on the Valentines For Troops website.

What a great idea for those service men and women who don't have a spouse or significant other to think of them during the upcoming holiday. It doesn't take much effort and you will surely be putting a smile on someone's face.
