Ran across this via the Soldiers’ Angels blog, there’s a great interview with SA co-founder Jeff Bader on the News Blaze online site. Be sure to hop on by there and watch the video!

The Soldiers’ Angels Mentor Team members are the absolute best. Mine is Dina. She’s been a huge inspiration to me and ever since I joined, she’s patiently answered all of my questions and helped out whenever I needed a nudge in the right direction, or some friendly advice.

One thing she emailed recently were suggestions for getting those creative juices flowing and getting around that letter writer’s block that some of us get:

• Buy a bunch of postcards from your area. On the back, jot down a note about what they are looking at, and what you did at that

The following press release was posted to the SA Forums. I think it would be a great idea for us to contact local news media, city mayors, and state governors and request that April be designated Month of the Military Child.

April marks a very special month in the lives of the military families. Soldiers’ Angels joins the US Department of Defense in recognizing April as the Month of the Military Child, a time to applaud military families and their children for the daily sacrifices they make and challenges they overcome. Secretary of Defense, Caspar Weinberger, established April as the

I noticed something new on the Soldiers’ Angels main site this morning, a counter depicting how many soldiers were waiting to be adopted.

Nice addition!

My daughter loves drawing pictures for my soldier and his platoon to enjoy. I’m willing to bet that many of you out there that have young’uns do the same.

I was reading on the Soldiers’ Angels blog just now about getting kids involved by printing and coloring an adorable Family Circus cartoon.

I know I’ll be printing out several copies in the morning for my daughter and her friends to color and decorate. How about you?

One angel emailed me this morning, it seems she was having trouble remembering when she had or hadn’t emailed her soldier, and she was looking for suggestions as to how to remember this important task and perhaps organize her duties a bit. Well, I can’t speak for anyone else, but I’m a forgetful type too. I get busy and time escapes me, I know I’m not alone in this. We all get busy but we should never neglect our adopted soldiers!

I’ve found it’s helpful to setup a “nag” to remind me each week. For example,(…)

• Keep an eye on cheap printing sites, such as VistaPrint. They are constantly having sales and offer free printing for various products. Better yet, check online coupon hubs, such as RetailMeNot, for coupon codes for heavily discounted items or free shipping!

  If you are looking for higher quality printing, I have been using Overnight Prints. They cost a bit more, but the quality and service I’ve received has been phenomenal. (Plus they sometimes have coupons listed on RetailMeNot!

• If you use Intuit’s TurboTax software or online services to file your taxes, you can use their It’s
