“New Media” and Internet-based social networking platforms like Twitter, Facebook and blogs have been a major force in our ability to meet the mission of ensuring “No Soldier Go Unloved.” They have their ups and downs, but the great thing is that we can each use our voices to keep things on the positive and “up” side.

Soldiers’ Angels is thrilled beyond words to see how many new Angels are stepping up to adopt as veteran Angels continue to take on adoptions. Just a couple weeks ago we had over 1,000 heroes waiting for adoption and now it’s around 400! If we continue to spread the word and encourage others to stand with us, we could zero it out by the Fourth of July—every hero could have an Angel for the Fourth! [
The Chaplain Support Team (CST) supplies deployed Chaplains with requested items related to their mission, and because chaplains travel throughout the war zone, working with them also helps Soldiers' Angels reach personnel who may be in remote locations, feeling isolated or lonely, and in need of a morale boost. The (CST) provides direct support to the military chaplains of all religious backgrounds as they bring comfort and assistance to all the soldiers they encounter. CST support ranges from letters and gifts that can be easily distributed, to morale items such as food for special group meals, cards for the deployed to send to family members for holidays and birthdays, and games, sports equipment, or books. Dedicated individual CST Angels also sometimes choose to focus on adopting chaplains or soldiers who share their religious background, knowing that having the support of a fellow believer can be a huge encouragement.
I can tell you from my experience as a deployed Soldier, Girl Scouts cookies are golden. This week the Soldiers’ Angels warehouse in San Antonio received two and a half trailer trucks’ worth of cookies for our deployed troops, all from Texas Girl Scouts. Just imagine if every state could step up like that! If you are connected to Scouts in your area, please encourage them to get involved with sending cookies, care packages or blankets for our deployed heroes. For more info, email groups@soldiersangels.org.
Last November we opened our new warehouse in San Antonio and closed the one in Newbury Park, CA. Unfortunately, some things are still being addressed to Newbury Park, which means we have to spend valuable dollars to get those great gifts for the troops all the way to Texas. You can help avoid this by double and triple-checking your records, keeping your eyes open for the old address on websites and flyers, and spreading the word about the new address: 4408 N PanAm Expwy, San Antonio, TX 78218. Thank you so much! The right address will allow us to spend money where it’s needed: on supporting troops and their families.
Amy Morgan wanted to be a soldier and was devastated when a heart condition prevented that. She joined SA in December 2007, after searching online for a way to help the troops. “I figured if I couldn’t be a soldier, I could be an Angel to one,” she says. She threw herself into the role, joining the Living legends, ePal and Chaplain Support teams, as well as adopting four soldiers and being an LWT leader. She’s also “Toby Nunn’s helper,” assisting him with addressing the special needs of struggling soldiers, and is working on an SA Wikipedia page.

Teri is not only an Angel, she’s a Marine Mom! When her son enlisted in the Marine Corps, Teri was invited to join Soldiers’ Angels and adopted her first hero. She soon learned she could have up to three adoptees at once, so she did just that. “It is like my second job, which consumes more time then my first job,” Teri says. She’s so active in Soldiers’ Angels that she has lost count of how many soldiers she has adopted over the years.
