5 Ways to Help Soldier Friends Reduce Stress
Part 2
by Dale Collie

Page: 1 2

Send favorite foods, snacks, and homemade goodies. Send a product that's new on the market. Find out whether they need AA batteries.

When I was an infantry company commander in Vietnam, my wife once sent a whole case of popcorn that could be popped over a campfire. After months of jungle patrols and tasty C-rations, the popcorn was a touch of home for everyone in the company. Who would have guessed that popcorn could relieve stress?

Pictures

Take pictures of all company activities, customer functions, and industry happenings. All of these things are important when you're away from home.

Send pictures of co-workers and company events. Include shots of funny things. Instead of throwing away those goofy faces, put them in an envelope. These are the people your soldiers know -- and miss!

If they can't get disposable cameras from the post exchange, send a couple of the one-use cameras that cost under ten bucks. Trading pictures helps you understand their work and the way they live, and the snapshots help reduce stress for the troops.

News clippings

Stuff newspaper clippings into those envelopes.

GIs want to know what's going on in sports, politics, Hollywood, and society. They know that the world continues to turn while their time is frozen in combat. News clippings help them remember what it's like in civilized life.

Send industry news and editorials. News about the war won't damage morale. Seeing war news in print helps soldiers understand how accurate or how misguided their efforts are represented. Write your own notes right on the article. Tell them what you think about the news. Ask for their thoughts.

Gather news about their other friends. Knowing that others continue with daily routines will be encouraging to those doing the hard work. The reality of things helps reduce the stress of not being in touch.

There you have it -- five easy ways to stay in touch and reduce stress for soldier friends. You'll be a part of the war on terror.
