Review for Any Soldier Inc., Waldorf, MD, USA
Any Soldier is an organization that uses its website, www.anysoldier.com, to match up volunteers in the military with civilian volunteers. The military folks are all serving in harm's way, and they volunteer to distribute letters and care packages to people in their unit. The civilian volunteers commit to sending letters and care packages for distribution.
When I started sending packages through Any Soldier, I was simply amazed at how humble the soldiers were - how simple their requests. Basic items that I take for granted on a daily basis - shampoo, shower gel, snack food - these were on their wish lists! And letters. I learned so quickly how important the letters are. I've become a much better letter writer in the past few months!
Imagine how excited I was when I heard from the first soldier I had sent a package to. I received a thank you card signed by her and all the troops she represents. I was absolutely thrilled - it was like birthday and Christmas all rolled into one.
This is an absolutely fantastic organization. It's extremely well-run, with the soldiers' safety and security as the top priority. I am proud to support Any Soldier!

receiving thank you notes from the troops who received my packages.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Maybe explain to the soldiers in a little more detail how the process works, what it means to sign up, and how the information they give is so essential to making sure they receive packages that are helpful to them.
