I am a Sgt in the Marine Corps and have been deployed to iraq and afghanistan. I think the tackle for troops is a good idea, BUT don't forget all the men who don't have spare time because they are running missions everyday. What can you do for them? I always liked letters; from kids, elderly and whomever and to make a friend over there to look forward to going fishing with when you get back, hell that might work! Anyway just don't like to see people get left out.

The same guys I am talking about don't get the USO shows, the good chow, nothing. Just the satisfaction that they couldn't have done any more for their Country than they already did. Send someone a letter, say whatever!
