Some suggested sites ...
Members of the Family of One e-mail group recommend a number of Web sites for family members of deployed soldiers either to get support, or to lend support to others. Among their suggestions:
www.bigredone.org: A 1st Infantry Division alumni association, the Society of the Big Red One, offers a "family" section.
www.globalsecurity.org: Information about units, camps, the politics and geography of Iraq.
To donate money or supplies in support of troops, try www.anysoldier.com, www.woundedwarriorproject.com, and www.soldiersangels.org.
www.defendersoffreedom.us: Started by Donna Cranston, a Family of One member. A nonprofit organization that sells tie-dye wristbands and soldier calendars, with all proceeds going to help deployed or injured troops.
www.militarywives.com: Offers practical advice and support geared toward women, with special subsites for families in each service, reservists and military husbands.
www.prayercentral.net: Offers daily prayers for troops in Iraq, as well as advice and links to other helpful web site.
