VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Support

Does anyone have anyone in the service that they may share their address so we could write and show support. Perhaps that service person also knows another service person that doesn't have anyone writing and would like support.
When we had Desert Storm I wrote to servicemen/women through an address given from Dear Abbey.
I had many soldiers happy to recieve these letters and homemade cookies. One was from NY and he was a Fireman (we still write and I am happy he is okay as he was at the World Trade Center)- but the one that put a lump in my throat was on a Sunday Afternoon. I was cleaning my sons room and the phone rang. He said " Hi this is TC. I am in Texas now - you were writing to me when I was in the Gulf"
He went on to tell me he was 19 and was happy to get those letters as he had no family and thats why he joined the service. My letters were the only ones he got and he was so happy to have someone thinking of him because he didn't know what might happen.
As a Former USO volunteer (Vietnam Era) I am a believer in supporting our men and women who serve our country.
