How can writing a letter be a bad thing to do?
IF you had a son who was a soldier, would you want him to receive letters?

Doing a kindness is never wrong - even when it is not appreciated.
Share a little love and write the letter!

Do the men read the letters while the women soldiers make the turkey?

Here are some charities that send letters to troops so you can still send a letter without believing anything.

This one has a list in it where you can send care packages. It does not categorize them by mission statement though

Lol, it's not even that the mission statement was unclear or misleading! Her objection to it was simply because it started with "We believe..."

I think she's just trying to start something and was hoping the board's anti-military contingent would get up in arms with her and run with it. Womp, womp.

I should have clarified the "We believe" bit better but I meant that it struck me as a fluff statement. I wasn't sure if military members would appreciate letters or if there was something more concrete that could be beneficial.

How can this even be a question in a person's mind? Is there something intrinsic in people who become military members that make them not need letters of appreciation at holiday time? Your clarification muddies things up even more for me.
