Our family was able to adopt a soldier through our church. We live near an Army base and were able to be involved that way. Our soldier was deployed for 15 months and we became part of his extended family. It was a great experience for my kids to see life as a soldier and to know what it is like to have someone deployed (their dad was last deployed before the last two were born). I hope we are able to be involved this way again. We support our friends still in the military with letters/ phone calls/emails, etc. but it was good to get to know someone we had not met prior.
