Save a Dog and Kids, Inc is a non-profit organization devoted to saving the thousands of dogs that needlessly die in our shelters every year. At the same time we give kids the benefit of working with dogs and thus learning compassion, responsibility and the joy of service. We realize children must learn the value of life for every life is precious.

Help Save A Dog & Kids support our Military and their families by donating to Save A Dog & Kids with uPlej soon.  We are listed on IRS site GuideStar.org since 2000 as in good standing 501c3 and now we are supporting our Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan with 1000s of US citizens and kids making cards and writing letters, sending packages of Things from Home, and your donation goes 100% to help us send more. Thank you

We have contacted the Utah Board of Education to get all Utah Schools to have students write 1,000s of letters and make Christmas cards we can ship to the troops this year. We have a goal of 5,000 letters and 3,000 cards.  If you are a teacher or parent that can volunteer in this effort please contact us at info@letterstosoldiers.org

ATTENTION PLEASE: We have been offered 120,000 Tahitian Noni Chews, (11 pallets),   and NEWAYS Natural Personal Care products is matching that this year for the Troops in Iraq but we don't have the funds to ship them. Won't you please help us? Letters to Soldiers Header AUCTION TO RAISE SHIPPING COSTS CLICK HERE FOR AMAZING ITEMS, COURSES, SERVICES.

Letters to Soldiers Personnel,

My unit (41st Fires BDE) is currently deployed at FOB D., Iraq.

We're located in a rather remote area. It's in the W., by A.. There are very few places for Soldiers to hang out or purchase items from. All that we have is a small PX (about the size of a 20ft trailer), a Green Bean Coffee (just opened last month), a barber shop (opened last month), a MWR (not in the greatest care due to other Coalition Forces), and a gym.

I was wondering if our unit could be on your care package list? We have two battalions that are here and the brigade headquarters equally about 300-400 Soldiers.

(We shipped 800 letters and signed poster and CDs from Mindi Abair we collected at the Salt Lake Intl. JAzz Festival: " We will be honored to start shipping letters, cards and we are looking for a "Base to Base contact here in Utah like Hill Air Force Base to ship 11 pallets of delicious Tahitian Noni Soft Chews and many pallets of natural personal care products donated also by NEWAYS here in Utah. We are working  to get the contacts to s hip base to base?

Will get cards and letters we currently have received. What is the total number of letters you can pass out? We have 800. ")

From an Airman's mother:

07/08/08

"My son, SrA Steven F. is currently serving at S.A.Base in Baghdad. He is Active Duty Air Force. Steven is my oldest and only son and I miss him terribly! Steven has made a point to make sure that all the guys in his tent (6) are receiving letters and packages so that they know just how awesome we think they are. He has gotten quite a few letters from Letters to Soldiers and told me that when they come in, he and the other guys sit around and read them together. They answer what they can, but mainly just smile because they know others care.

 Steven has also started taking voluntary donations to help the Civilian Military Operated Clinic (CMOC) which is a volunteer run women and childrens hospital run for the families of the Iraqi civilians that have chosen to work on base.

 These guys are working in the sun and sand in horrible heat day in and day out. He sends me pictures of the sandstorms and tornadoes that they are exposed to constantly. They stay in full uniform (all long sleeve) and at night it is still 120 degrees in their tent. I have made it my goal to let all of these folks know that we support them by asking everyone I know to send a card, letter, or even a picture and it only costs a stamp to make our soldiers smile. My family and friends have been sending the letters to Steven and he passes them out, not only to the guys in his tent, but others that he knows aren't getting support.

I have the names and address of the guys in Steven's tent and can also give you Steven's email if you would like to contact him directly. I'm very proud to say that my son is protecting our country and if you decide to send those letters and care packs his way, you would not be disappointed. If you decide to send them elsewhere, that is perfectly understandable. If you have any extra letters though, I know it would bring a smile to the guys at Sather.

 Sincerely,

Jeanette"
