#18 Send a care package to a soldier overseas
Giving back is always a great feeling, however; this time I felt SO much more alive and touched. I have always wanted to send a care package to a random soldier or platoon that I did not know, who is stationed overseas in Iraq. In the past I have sent them to my best friend when he was in the Army, but to a random person, that is just amazing. I have adopted a platoon out of Kentucky with 7 guys and 2 girls. I honestly can say, this was the best I've ever felt spending $46 in my life. I hope that it makes them feel at home and more loved knowing that a stranger wants to help them out and to feel appreicated while they are over serving for our country for our freedom and protection. I can't wait to send them a package every 3 months(it takes a month to get there). Just knowing that I may bring a smile to their faces, that right there is enough to make my heart happy and FULL!
