| Soldier Stories: Floridians Bravely Serving | |
|
Each week, WDBO's Frank Samandari will introduce you to a Florida soldier, serving proudly in today's military. Tune in to Central Florida's Morning News, every Wednesday, to hear their stories!
Ways to get involved: Wounded Warriors - Our mission is to provide support to the families of those who have been wounded, injured or killed during combat operations. Wounded Warriors mitigates their trauma by allowing them to find peace and solace as a family once more in family-friendly resorts that we provide free of charge. The resort condominiums in Orlando and Galveston, Texas are quiet havens where war torn families can reunite and become stronger. www.woundedwarriors.oeg
USO- The USO is a private, nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide morale, welfare and recreation-type services to our men and women in uniform. The original intent of Congress, and enduring style of USO delivery, is to represent the American people by extending a touch of home to the military. The USO currently operates more than 130 centers worldwide, including ten mobile canteens located in the continental United States and overseas. Service members and their families visit USO centers more than 4.7 million times each year.
AnySoldier.com- Any Soldier Inc. now helps nearly 100,000 American soldiers in all branches of the military, both active duty and reservists, and has become one of the leading efforts in making sure the men and women who have been deployed for the war are cared for, via letters and packages from "home."
AnySoldier.com features emails from different military personnel regarding the type of support needed in the field. The support could be in the form of a simple letter or package, or it could toiletries, food or even newspapers and magazines. Donors address their letters and packages to the writer's name, but also add the words "ATTN: Any Soldier" on the second line. The writer shares the mail with fellow servicemen and women. If there is "Any Soldier" who is not receiving a lot of mail from home, that soldier will be the first person to receive the letter.
