 Send a Letter to a Soldier this Holiday Season Please help us support our soldiers that will not be able to spend this holiday season with their families. We have so much to be thankful for because of them. A simple letter telling them they are appreciated can mean so much when they are stationed far away from home, friends and family, and put in dangerous places and situations. It helps them remember the people and the freedoms for which they fight. Be as supportive and positive as you can when writing to soldiers.
You can follow the simple guideline below if needed or scroll down to the attachment and download the guideline and instructions to your computer.
We will need to receive your letters by December 5th 1. Address the letter to "Dear Soldier," if you are writing to an unknown serviceman, and allow the distribution center to locate a soldier who hasn't received mail.
2. Write a positive letter, showing your support for the soldiers who are putting their lives at risk. Perhaps tell the soldier something about yourself, (how old you are, school you go to, or your hobbies) but nothing too personal. Focus the letter on your appreciation for what the soldier is doing and on general topics that would likely be of interest. Perhaps write about your Taekwondo class, sports or current events. Write in a conversational tone. as if you were writing to an old friend.
3. Include your email address in the letter if you would like to hear back from the soldier. Many soldiers will respond in that manner. Include your address in the letter as envelopes tend to be tossed in the trash.
4. Bring or e-mail your letter back to Sonoma Taekwondo and we will collect all the letters together, and make sure they are put into holiday packages for our troops.
