Soldiers' Angels

This week I became a member of Soldiers' Angels and adopted a Soldier. His name is James and he's in the Army serving in the 62 Quartermaster Company, 68th CSSB (Combat Sustainment Support Battalion). That's about all I know about him. I looked up his Battalion and it looks like they are supplying Troops in Baghdad.


Once you join (no fee to join) they assign you a Soldier. The Soldier could be from any branch of the service. Mine just happened to be from the Army. After you receive your Soldier's info you are asked to write to them once or twice a week and send one or two care packages month. Evidently it's a big deal to hear your name at mail call. And of course they could always use the stuff you send in the care packages.
