A Simple Way to Help a Soldier

Do you wish to support our troops, but don't know how? Here's an easy way to show your support by directly helping a soldier in harm's way. Go to AnySoldier.com, find a list of items to send and where to send it. Voilà, it's that easy. Your package will be distributed to soldiers who normally don't get any mail.

In August 2003, Sergeant Brian Horn, an Army Infantry Soldier with the 173rd Airborne Brigade was in the Kirkuk area of Iraq when he got an idea to help care for his soldiers. He agreed to distribute packages that came to him with “Attn: Any Soldier” in his address to soldiers that didn't get any mail. After completing his tour in Iraq and a subsequent tour in Afghanistan, Sergeant Horn is back in the states but Any Soldier has grown by leaps and bounds. Now, any member of the U.S. Armed Forces in harms way is eligible to receive a care package. Over 90,000 service members have received care packages. You don't need to know who to send the package to, only where to send it, allowing you the ability to help someone who is sacrificing so much for this country.

So, the next time you are at the grocery store, Wal-Mart or Target, pick up some of the items needed, place them in a box and send them via U.S. mail. You will be doing a world of good without having to expend too much time and effort. What more can you ask for?
