AMERICA, APRIL 16, 2024 – Good morale boosts mission effectiveness and survival. Care goods boost morale. Times are tough at home. And in the midst of that, our soldiers slog on and do the impossible for us every day! We’re Americans – we can do anything! When the going gets tough, real Americans get going. So let’s step up for them the way they step up for all of us! Call your local stations today and see what they’ll make happen for the troops deployed to protect them.
- Ask your local radio stations, TV stations, and newspapers to tell their audiences how people and companies can send care goods to their troops!
- They just go to https://supportourtroops.org/care-packages
- They will find a list of things the troops are requesting, and the rules.
- People and companies send goods to Support Our Troops® at the address listed there.
- And they get repacked according to need and send overseas.
- Simple!
All Together Now!®
"Everything you have sent has been such a blessing from the plastic utensils to the blank CDs and memory sticks. Even the simple things are hard to come by out here so every last bit helps and makes it that much easier for us to do our job. Thank you for all you do in support of us and all of our fellow soldiers out here. You are truly a blessing."

Souda Bay, Greece. (April 19, 2024): In an oil spill disaster, seconds count for Navy authorities trying to limit the ecological damage. In this photo by Petty Officer 1st Class Delaney S. Jensen, Petty Officer 2nd Class Sean Sweetay and Seaman Apprentice Tencing Wang Po practice deploying an oil boom during a spill prevention and response training exercise. These highly skilled Sailors deploy a variety of “booms” that use different methods to corral and contain a spill. These booms use mooring systems, such as anchors or landlines, which can be maneuvered to close off sensitive habitat or to divert the oil away. The three booms at their disposal are:
The Hard boom: This is a floating piece of plastic that contains floats on top and weights on the bottom to form a “skirt” under the water. If the currents or winds are not too strong, the Hard boom can collect and divert oil spills away from coastal areas.
The next tool available to oil spill responders is the Sorbent boom. This device looks like a huge log made out of cloth material that absorbs oil. The Sorbent booms don't have the "skirt" that Hard booms have so they can't contain oil for very long.
The third collection device is the Fire boom, a series of metal plates that form the “skirt” and designed to corral the oil long enough to be lit on fire and burned off. This “burning in place" of an oil slick is controversial due to its potential effects on wildlife. For this reason, Fire booms are seldom used and only during ideal conditions when the weather is relatively calm.
