NOT SURE HOW MUCH NEWS I'LL GET TO TODAY.

I've spent a large part of the day organizing our unit's Adopt-A-Soldier program.

The company First Sergeant sent us a list of 13 names last weekend. These soldiers were receiving nothing in the way of care packages from home.

How can that happen? Well, in at least one case the soldier is part of a dual military couple, and both are deployed to Baghdad.

In other cases, well, some folks come from backgrounds that aren't like yours or mine.

And so we've arranged to have these soldiers "adopted".

As of today, we have at least 2 sponsors for each soldier.

That's a 200 % improvement over this time last week.

Way to go volunteers.
