There are a few organizations that collect holiday cards from American families to forward onto the troops serving in combat. I thought I'd post some of them here in case anyone has an extra card or 2 you want to send to a soldier who won't be home for the holidays this year.

Any Soldier.com This is a year round effort. You can pick a unit from their list and send a few items they are requesting, or just send a letter or card.
