I would like to know if there is anything I can do to help and show support to U.S. troops?

You could contribute to one of the troops causes. My husband's unit, in Afghanistan, is sponsoring a school of 8000 students and is looking for donations of school supplies. I am sure his unit is not alone in their actions and there are many worthwhile causes out there. If you are looking for a personal contact you could try the USO. Good luck and thanks for thinking of them.

Print on your t-shirts that you love the soldiers in Iraq that they are doing a good job as patriots.

The Pentagon is asking people to help through financial contributions, letter-writing and e-mail, purchasing authorized pre-made care packages, or volunteering time through non-profits.

This website will show you lots of links to programs that offer aid to our military -- everything from care packages to emergency services to military family support:

as a amry wife, daycare provider and frg leader there are many things that you can do. there are soliders down range that would love a pen pal to write to. there are also care packages that you can send a soilder down range as well as purchase phone cards through AAFES so a soilder can phone home.
if you are serious look at these links:

I remember hearing just a few days ago that for security reasons, individual care packages were no longer being allowed ... however, we can contribute towards care packages via some gov't approved organizations.

Below are a bunch of sites that will advise you of numerous ways to support our troops:

I found these sites via Ask.com ... you might find even more if you try Google.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, I believe you might find a link or two on Oprah's site.

Thank you for your question!

There are many ways of showing our support, many groups to join on the Yahoo boards.
As the Proud Army Mom of a Soldier, we know the sacrifices they make daily on a VOLUNTEER basis.
I challenge anyone to spend one day as a US Soldier, stand on that wall and then make inane comments about 'lobbying for early withdrawal'. No Mother or Father wants to see their child go to another place where they are shot at, blown up and attend the funerals of a Fallen Angel. Yet, we do and they do with HONOR.
I have two Soldiers currently deployed with our youngest leaving for Basic in June. We lost a son on Sept. 2nd. Please don't tell me how this war should or shouldn't be 'waged'. Only a Soldier or Veteran has earned that right.
We support our Military personnel and honor our Veterans.
Please visit any of the websites listed in other posts and you'll be rewarded, knowing you've made one small difference in a Soldier's life.
Thank you.

TY Allen!!!!! you are a true American!
Indeed there are ways to support your troops! I cant speak for them, but I am sure they would very much appreciate it.
Dont listen to these...animals in here trying to throw sticks in your wheelspokes. I wish they would not say anything if it doesnt pertain to the askers subject....its irritating.
Go ahead, support them. I fly colors for them, I tag my truck with pro-troops stuff...They are hero's! Thats it.

vote for a government that will not risk their lives for wrong reasons.
They must obey orders so need you to make sure those orders are wise and good. without an informed electorate, the soldiars may be killed for no good reasons. read,study,and apply what you learn.
Do not believe everything that you are told. question authority. the soldiar cannot but you can do it for him or her.

Petition Congress to order the President to get them out of that invaded land. Contgact your local DMV or VA place and ask them how you can help. But the main help is the citizens action, the inaction is almost reprehensible and I am ashamed to call myself an American as long as this mad man president twists and changes the Constitution to suit the wants of the few over the needs of the many.
Send em a happy card.

Lobby your Congress to have them brought home.
