Welcome to 4 Our Military!!

Hello and welcome to my blog. My name is Michelle and I am an avid supporter of our Military. Here, I will be blogging about everything I have going on in the way of supporting our troops. If you too are involved in supporting our troops, I would love to hear what you are doing in your community. For the past three years, I have been a volunteer for an organization called 'Adopt A US Soldier'. They are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that allows you to sign up to "adopt" a soldier that is deployed and in need of some support. If you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to contact me. Please direct all mail to MDawn213@aol.com. Thank you all for your support!!

Project Frontlines (Project #1 that I am currently working on)

Project Frontlines is one of the two projects that I am currently working on. This was started by Kylie Johnson and Mark Klodzinski. We then worked together and have made it an official part of 'Adopt A US Soldier'. What is Project Frontlines? We have a unit in Afghanistan that is in a very remote location. Through Project Frontlines, these men and women in uniform will receive donations from supporters around the world. For more information or to donate, please visit the Adopt A US Soldier website. We have just received a HUGE donation of 1,500 bags of coffee and it is going to cost A LOT to ship over to our troops. PLEASE consider donating for shipping costs. Every amount counts!

The ball is rolling....

Good Morning/Afternoon everyone! Last night, Meg and I attended an FRG meeting for the 3rd ID's homecoming. We were able to meet with other members of the FRG community and we were given BOSS bags that had some toiletry items in them for the soldiers. We also got more information...we have female soldiers as well!!! This is news to us, as we were told that we had no females. Things are getting accomplished, just not as fast as we would have hoped. We are hoping to have final numbers within the next day or two of how many soldiers we actually have coming home. Unfortunately, we have yet to be able to find any sheets, pillows, towels, and washcloths, but we are still looking. We are also looking for as much groceries as we can. If anyone has any ideas, advice, or can help in any way, We would really appreciate it. We will update again soon with more information and hopefully more pictures :)
