The AdoptaPlatoon Soldier Support Effort™ founded in 1998 is a nonprofit 501C-3 organization managed nationwide by volunteer mothers to ensure that deployed United States Service members in all branches of the military are not forgotten by providing needed mail support and to promote patriotism in our schools and communities. To provide a better deployment quality of life, lift morale, and assist military families, the AAP created projects that meet the need of military requests, established special projects for holidays, and assigns individual morale lifting mail support to service members of all branches of the U.S. military serving their Nation around the world.
Not to distract, but rather encourage more grass-roots support for patriots--
I think it would be great if the Minutemen had such a program.
Thanks for the article and the link! My husband and I just filled out the form at their web site to volunteer to adopt a service member. (Wow, that web site of theirs is not great, though ... kind of hard to navigate!) We're looking forward to sending our good wishes and care packages to our "new" service member!
