KSUViolet06, volunteering at the USO is a great choice.
When it comes to community service, supporting the military is my main theme. I used to volunteer for Marine Corps Community Services at Camp Pendleton - we co-presented the homecoming events for Marines returning from the Middle East. These events provided a comfortable atmosphere for the anxious families while they waited. We provided a covered place to sit, food, drinks, etc. The events also allowed us the opportunity to offer a smile, a warm "welcome home" and a "thank you for serving" to the Marines whose families were not able to be there to greet them. It just breaks my heart when they return and don't have any friends or family present.
Presently, I continue to adopt service personnel who are still deployed (Yay! One just returned in February!). Also, I lend support to the area Army ROTC program.
Thanks, all, for supporting our service personnel. In a way, things have "quieted down" now; but they still need our support.
