The Iraq War Through US Soldiers' Eyes
www.adoptaplatoon.org is a wonderful non-profit organization where you can adopt a soldier to support and send care packages and/or letters. Check it out. You don't always hear back from your soldier for obvious reasons, but I have been surprised by the soldiers that have emailed and written back their heartfelt thanks for my support. There are many soldiers who don't even receive letters from their own families, so please reach out to them if you can. Make their day with mail call.
Here are some blogs by soldiers and families of soldiers - it's the best way to gain perspective on what is going on through their eyes.
