SUPPORTING OUR DEPLOYED SOLDIERS
HOW DOES THIS WORK?
How it works: In both cases, an individual soldier will be assigned to YOU! You will be sent a "soldier delivery" letter that contains all the information you will need to successfully support your soldier plus mailing instructions (mailing costs are inexpensive). For an example of what shipping costs are for care package support to a soldier, please see "mailing instructions" on the main page of the website. (see below).
The Adopt a platoon (AAP) Soldier Support Effort is a non profit organization that links moms, grandmothers, families, pen-pals, and other organizations such as schools, synagogues, churches, scouts, 4-H-Clubs, companies (employees can also individually adopt a soldier etc.) to deployed soldiers.Here are the two ways AAP connects you to our deployed soldiers:
ADOPTION SUPPORT:
The adoption support consists of sending a weekly, cheerful card or letter, and at least one care-package, per month!PEN PAL SUPPORT:
Single people are linked to single soldiers only. A single person is linked directly to a soldier and he/she becomes your responsibility to delivery mail support during the duration of the deployment (which is about six months or more). It is up to you to make sure that this soldier receives mail with the understanding that they are serving under difficult situations and many times are not able to write back! Single ladies are not linked to married soldiers.This is a great cause... there are many soldiers away from home that have no one that cares.. please make one smile today :o)
