So I was thinking about "adopting a soldier" or getting a soldier pen pal. I'm nervous about it though because of my views of the war, and also because of my age. I'm 18 and naive. What would I possibly say? Would I even be a good pen pal?
Heres the website: http://www.mysoldier.com/ What do you think? Maybe all of creatblog should give it a try, and write about it here. |

But it's really just like having a friend over the internet. You talk about yourself, you ask about the other person. Like, seriously, I dare you to start writing a letter to a soldier right now. Keep it upbeat and happy. It's easy. From the website: Share personal stories. I liked it when people told me about themselves, or sent family photos. Of course, soldiers are busy, and some are not great letter-writers by nature. However, it will probably increase your chances of getting a letter back if you: . Show the soldier you want to get to know him or her. Ask questions about their hobbies and interests. . Include your e-mail address because it may be easier for them to write back via the computer. . Be sure to ASK them to write back! |
