OT Adopt a Marine

Post by RustyJr »

Has any one used a program to adopt a specific Marine in the sand box. I would like to help out but I have heard stories of packages being returned because the Army is getting so many packages marked "Any Soldier that they are being over whelmed. I was thinking about the Marines because I have heard from various sources that the Marines seem to have less in the way of supply resources than the Army. Any information would be helpful. Thanks in advance,
RustyJr
Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes.

My understanding is that you must mail to a particular person. There are several organizations linking patriots to particular units/individuals for such things. I mail things they need to soldiers I know who are deployed so I've not used these organizations. These should get you started.
