I'm challenging each and every reader with a very important mission. It's the holiday season and what better way to spread good cheer than by supporting our military members and their families?! Never fear…you'll be provided with a few "tools" that will help you accomplish this mission. I've compiled a short list of web sites that will lead you down the right path. Don't forget…the BEST way to show your support is to visit a local VA facility or Veterans hospital/rehab unit and really experience the joy of personally connecting with veterans – retired and active duty!

Department of Defense web site dedicated to supporting our military

LOVE this site because you can choose the military branch you wish to support AND select an individual's name to "adopt" (correspond with, send care packages, etc.) – makes your involvement very personal and is a gratifying way to get involved!
