Support our Soldiers

Since July is a very patriotic month we thought we would share these great websites we found in the Hallmark magazine. They listed all these great websites to help wounded soldiers and their families. We thought it was such a great article because we didn't even know that these websites were out there. As the proud daughter and granddaughter of a World War II veteran we was wounded in battle we are happy to pass them on. Thanks to the Hallmark magazine for bringing them to our attention.

Show Your Support For Families Of Wounded Soldiers. This month we celebrate our countries independence. Lets not forget the men and women who help protect our great country. Many of them have been wounded in war so here is the great article we found that listed five ways you can help the families of wounded soldiers. They are:

1. Donate funds for a rental car or hotel room to a family visiting a soldier undergoing long-term rehabilitation at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and Bethesda Naval Hospital in Washington DC; log onto yellowribbonfund.org for more details.
2. Give a laptop to a military hospital so that recovering soldiers can stay in touch with family and friends; log onto laptopsforthewounded.com for more details.
3. Hire a returning soldier if you are an employer; log onto hireahero.org for more details.
4. Offset the cost of activities, like dance lessons and Little League, for the children of deployed and seriously injured National Guard and Reserve military personal; log onto ourmilitarykids.org for more details.
5. Send a veteran to a concert or sports event through Tickets for Troops, or opt for other ways to show your appreciation; log onto thethankyoufoundation.org.
