Support overseas for troops

[proudnurse]

I just wanted to leave a message here, to thank all the men and women overseas. I could be you someday, because I am going to the recruiting office this week. I was wondering, if there is any place maybe online or somewhere, that you can "adopt a soldier" that may not be receiving letter mail or email? I would be willing to take the time to do that also. From what I have found so far, there is not alot of support groups for the Canadian Soldiers, I know that there is many for the US troops. I have written to some soldiers from the US but would like to offer some support to the soldiers from Canada (I live here of course I just sit here sometimes and wonder what more can we do? Or even to support some of our wounded veterans by writing email to them also.

Cheers, Rebecca

Hi proudnurse and welcome to our world and your support. If you go to the main DND/CF site, you can write to the troops from there and probably get replies galour.  Either search this site for it or try www.dnd.ca ( I think).  As for joining up, there's always room for one more nurse.

Hi proudnurse.  There are a few adopt a soldier programs for Canadian troops.  There is the Chosen Soldier program (where I got mine from) just email louise.jarvis@sympatico.ca and she will hook you up with someone in Afganistan.  Also there is the Canadian Angels http://www.canadianangels.org/

I've mentioned it before but I believe www.marriedtothecanadianforces.com has 'adopt a soldier' campaign. It's worth checking out anyway.

Hahaha para you are funny! It's actually $30 a yr to join the site. I joined last night and found out. No big deal, this is a great board with a wealth of information and good support network. I would not mind the yearly fee.
