Brat over at Tanker Brothers sent the word that a Soldier's wife is looking for help to welcome home some of Alaska's Heroes:

To whom it may concern,
I am writing this letter to ask for help to make a warm welcome for the single soldiers of Anchorage, Alaska. The married soldiers have their spouses and children to make them feel welcome, but the single soldiers really do not have anyone. Alaska is a long way for Parents, siblings and friends to travel to welcome their [our] soldier home. As it stands right now, the single soldiers are assigned a room with a bed. [Military did away with issuing bedding to single soldiers, because they wanted a more personal touch to their room]There will not be linens, towels, bathing soap or laundry soap. Just an empty room. Their belongings and vehicles are in storage. With so many soldiers coming home it will take time to get their belongings....

You can find more details, including info on how you can help, here at A Soldier's Mind.
