Ways to Support the Troops The Department of Defense has asked the American public not to overload the military mail system with bulk mailings of cards and gifts. Here are alternative suggestions from the White House and the Pentagon: Donate money to the USO at www.uso.org or sponsor a USO care package at www.usocares.org . Donate long-distance calling cards so service members can call their families: Operation Uplink at www.operationuplink.org . Send an online greeting at www.OperationDearAbby.net . Donate gift certificates to military dependents in need at www.commissaries.com . Other resources are at www.usafreedomcorps.gov and www.defendamerica.mil (click on "Support Our Troops").
Treating Family Wounds Nonprofit group Our Military Kids in McLean is offering to help pay for athletics, tutoring and dance lessons for children of deployed troops.
