Everyday Survival Guide for Deployed Soldiers, Military Families, Spouses & Children: Fabulous Video Tribute To Military Moms

Even if your soldier is fortunate enough to be in an FOB like Liberty or Victory, the PX's are seldom fully stocked, and the inventory evidently changes often. When our sons were deployed, they were constantly wanting new games, dvd's, snack food, their favorite toiletries and razors, sheets, and 'stuff from home'.

In the sidebar on the left, you will find links to American stores and businesses that actively support our military and their families.

And please, don't miss the Archived Section containing priceless information on shipping to your soldier! I will occasionally copy that post as new so that it will stay close to the top, as it contains valuable information.

About Soldiers_Mom and My Hope For This Blog

We became a military family when both our sons enlisted in the Army National Guard after the horrors of 9/11/2001.

Shawn was the first to deploy to Iraq, serving with the 142d Field Artillery in Baghdad, and returning home shortly after the final end of Sadaam Hussein.

Shapiro deployed almost immediately upon his brother's return, attached to the 39th, and spent his tour overseeing convoy security in Southern Iraq. I'm honored to be their mother, and they are my heros.

During their absence, I spent untold hours locating and researching resources for keeping in contact with our sons, and searching out American companies and organizations that show their support by providing services to military families and our soldiers.

I'm hopeful this blog will provide a small clearinghouse of outstanding companies and organizations, and that both new and seasoned military moms, dads, husbands, wives and children will find support and courage through our experiences.
