  3. WHY CARE PACKAGES & LETTERS? Operation Soldier

  4. Our troops say that the most cherished items in the packages are the personal letters of appreciation from Americans. Your letter should introduce yourself. Ask your servicememberquestions to give them something to respond to. It is possible that they won’t reply to you, because they are busy. The life of a servicememberin a foreign country can be scary, boring, and lonely. When mail comes, letters are treasured. However, some soldiers receive nothing in the mail, month after month. Some of these soldiers don't have much family back home, or their families are busy, or just not the letter-writing type. Don't worry that the servicememberwon't find what you write about interesting, your letter will be appreciated.

  5. WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT… *HAND-WRITTEN LETTERS ARE MORE PERSONABLE THAN COMPUTER-GENERATED. *INTRODUCE YOURSELF- FIRST NAME ONLY (PRIVACY) *KEEP YOUR MESSAGE UPBEAT AND POSITIVE *BE THANKFUL! *SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF- HOBBIES, DAILY LIFE, FAVORITE CLASSES, DREAMS/GOALS FOR YOUR FUTURE. *DO NOT DISCUSS DEATH, KILLING, POLITICS, RELIGION *Ask them general questions about themselves, their job, family, passions, what they miss most about being home, etc.. *SHOW APPRECIATION & RESPECT *SHOW EMPATHY FOR THEIR SACRIFICE *USE YOUR BEST WRITING SKILLS (NEATNESS, GRAMMAR, SPELLING, FORMAT, ETC..) *DECORATE YOUR LETTER *BRING A SMILE TO THEIR FACE! 

  6. SAMPLE LETTER FORMAT DECORATE YOUR LETTER! Sept. 19, 2013 Dear Military Hero, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your service to our country. My name is Dominique and I’m from the beautiful state of Utah. Have you ever been here? I love to hike, drum, read, ski, and dance to live bands with my friends. Where are you stationed? I can’t imagine how hard it would be to serve in the military. I really appreciate your commitment and sacrifice in being away from home and fighting for our freedom. I also appreciate your family’s sacrifice. You must be a very brave person! What kinds of things do you get to do for fun over there? Do you play basketball, watch movies, play cards? I sure hope you have some good times, even though your job must be very challenging. I hope things are going well for you and that you can come home safely, very soon. Thanks for being YOU! Please know that you are appreciated…all the way from North Ogden, Utah. I feel very proud to be an American!!! Dominique START WRITING YOUR LETTER NOW!
