My mother and my brother are both veterans. My brother was in the Navy from 1982 to 2002, and saw all kinds of stuff overseas.

My mom is actually doing something with her school retiree association for the soldiers in her county that are currently in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other areas of conflict. She started this last year, but is doing it again this year, where the school retiree association is buying Christmas Trees for all their families. I know they help out with dinners and stuff too.

I thought that was a really neat idea.

Anyone on here get involved in helping out the soldiers over there now, or the veterans, or know of other groups that do that? It feels good to give back in different ways.
