Anysoldier.com needs our help!

On March 23, 2003, Sue and Marty Horn started an effort to support their son who was deployed in Iraq for the earliest stages of the war. Wanting to also help the soldiers serving with their son, Army SGT Brian Horn, Marty started Anysoldier.com in August of the same year.

Since the site was created two and a half years ago, about 430,000 troops have been helped. Packages have been sent to soldiers by individuals and large corporations alike. For those 2 1/2 years, they’ve gone out of their way to make sure as many soldiers as possible are taken care of.

But now, Anysoldier needs OUR help. They don’t charge for addresses to send care packages to as they operate solely on donations. Donations have been far below what is needed for AnySoldier.com to continue. Without the needed donations this web site stops. Soon. I’d like to ask my readers for help, regardless of what you can spare. I know that many of you are a part of different organizations and may feel like you’d be betraying that organization. I assure you that will not be the case. We’re all in the same fight. Here are some ways you can help:

1. DONATE using a credit card or mail. Click HERE.
(Suggestion: See if your employer will do a matching donation!)
2. Shop online HERE. There are many participating businesses that you probably already shop at.
3. Donate that vehicle you don’t use or get your neighbor to HERE.
4. Live in Texas or Louisiana? Shop at Kroger. Click HERE .
5. Buy some of their cool stuff HERE.
6. Join them on the cruise! See THIS .
7. Contact folks you know and get them involved.

Thank you for helping with this endeavor. Anyone willing to post this on their blog, please do so as well. Anything will help.
