Welcome home, ‘Bama Soldier!

I saw in the Patriot Guard Riders forums that another Alabama soldier is returning home, sometime today.

Welcome home, SFC Morris Lowery!!!

Got a few spare moments? You could fulfill a need!

Hello Angels!

I’ve been making an effort to be more active in the Soldiers’ Angels forums recently and wanted to take a few minutes to share a few things that I’ve found with you…

There are so many helpful Angels that I’ve run across, I honestly don’t know where I would have been without their help! Any new Angel member would be wise to check in Angel Boot Camp. It has a TON of tips and helpful advice posted there and is a great place to ask questions. OR, if you’re a seasoned Angel, you could post tips there, or head over to Questions and share some wisdom and help out other Angels!

Personally, I think I spend the most of my time in TLC Requests and Cards Plus Team (ALL sub-forums!). I love writing, so fulfilling the requests posted is something that’s quick and easy for me for me to do. It makes me feel good and I know that it does so much good for the soldiers that the requests are going to!

Are you a letter writing pro? You might find the those aren’t enough … if so, hop over to the Letter Writing Team! They could have requests that you could easily fill! Are you the type who writes and/or collects postcards? There’s a section for you! Like to write, but can’t get to the Post Office that often? No problem, there’s the E-Pal Team!

But what if writing is not your talent? There are TONS of other ways to help out! Do you like to cook and bake? Visit the Angel Bakers forums!

Can you sew? The Sewing Team always has projects going on and can use extra hands!

There are so many more, and many requests just take a few minutes to fill. If you have a few spare minutes and want to help, hop on over to the Soldiers’ Angels forums and find something that fits your talents and interests!
