We have a lot of donated items to send to our troops and need money for shipping!!
Can you help?
Operation Military Support has been fortunate over the past 6 months to receive many donated items to send to the soldiers in Korea, Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq. Companies throughout the United States have been more than generous in donating items that the commanders have suggested that they miss or could use on their mission. .We currently have cases of CD's, DVD's, sunscreen, books, etc., waiting to be shipped. Since our monetary donations have decreased since the major battles ended, we asked for assistance from our Military to ship the items via Air Force transport on empty runs, but they have denied us that privilege. We have to pay postage to mail these items. We have set up Pay Pal on our website for the convenience of anyone who would like to help with the shipping of all of our donated items. You can use a credit card or auto transfer funds from your checking account. Checks can be mailed to Operation Military Support, P.O. Box 901, San Andreas, CA 95249

I'm a USA Soldier

My son is on active duty in the army. Needless to say, people who are NOT fighting the war or do NOT have children fighting the war have the luxury to have "OPINIONS" and spit on freedom and the war and those protecting them. As a mother of a soldier I pray that God will Bless our Miliary and those who believe in the USA, our Government, our Commander in Chief and pray for a quick resolution -- to the rest of you -- Dance with the Devil in Iraq !!!! Amen
When American's Protest
I'm a USA Soldier
When Protesters Sleep
I Protect -
I'm a USA Soldier
When my Wife & Children are Alone
I'm a "husband/father" USA Soldier
When Protesters Spit Against War
I'm a USA Soldier
When the Sand and Wind Blow me Apart
I'm a USA Soldier
Whether I'm in Uniform or Not
I'm a USA Soldier
When American's Disagree
I'm Appalled
I know What has to be Done!

I love this poem. It is touching and well written. I agree with you that people are spending too much protesting the war instead of supporting and praying for the soldiers who are out there risking their lives for US. Mark is in my prayers!

Wonderful write Karen.
I support our troops as well as one's right to protest. That, after all, is what we're fighting for. I do believe, however, that the one's method of protest is an insight to one's integrity. A "Right to lifer" who kills an abortion doctor defeats his entire argument, just as those protesting war who choose violence defeat theirs. If we could only see that our message is in our actions, as well as our words.

Military wives and moms is a site designed for those who have husbands, sons or daugthers proudly serving in the armed forces. It is also a place for you to show your support for our military families.
The purpose of our operation is to encourage citizens to support their fighting men and women deployed overseas in these dangerous times.
All that anyone ever says about this site is, "wow." That's because Sgt. Mom's is THE place to find out "Why do they?" "How do I?" and "When is it best to?" Sgt. Mom's has links to more than 100 military family and spouse homepages. She has proven and simple coping techniques for stuff like military moves, reading an LES, long deployments, and so much more. You simply can't afford to miss her pages - especially if you're a military newbie like me. She's got too much good stuff to pass up. Go and visit.
