Jack Daniel's And The USO Ask Citizens To Help Send A Message Of Support To Our Troops

This one is near and dear to my heart. Please support the troops!

Jack Daniel's is asking people to go online and sign a message of support for our servicemen and women.

By visiting www.JDToastTheTroops.com, people over 21 years of age can sign their own online "toast" card – a message of support – that will be included in USO Care Packages for our troops deployed overseas in packages assembled at upcoming stuffing parties held this summer in Sturgis, SD, and Fort Hood, TX.

The effort is part of the Jack Daniel's/USO "Toast to the Troops" campaign that began in September 2005. In addition to the message of support, the packages will also include items requested by service men and women, such as prepaid international calling cards, toiletries, sunscreen, playing cards, disposable cameras and snacks. More than 160,000 care packages have been sent through "Toast to the Troops."

Due to heightened security, individuals can no longer send letters and packages addressed to "Any Service Member." The Operation USO Care Package program is the best way to send a message of encouragement directly to troops and provide a touch of home. The USO has distributed more than two million care packages since the program's inception in 2003. More information on the Operation USO Care Package program and other USO programs can be found at www.uso.org.
