Help any soldier
http://www.anysoldier.us/index.cfm
This site was originally created by a soldier's father
to help solicit care packages for his son's unit.
It quickly ballooned into something bigger. Now it's a non-profit
organization that helps people
send care packages to any soldier in Iraq.

An independent voice

Many blogs are written by soldiers in Iraq. This blog
is written by a free-thinker.

the language is R-rated. |
