My "Adopted Soldier" In Iraq Was Killed. RIP Jennifer Hartman.

[K8-EEE]

21 years old. A goddamned shame.

If any DUers would like to honor Jennifer by going to anysoldier.com and sending a letter or small package to another soldier, she would like that. She always shared her stuff with everyone.

A lot of people don't know it but the "flat rate" boxes at the post office can be sent to military APO's, anything you can stuff in there is only $9! Although they say "domestic only" on the boxes, you CAN send them to military overseas.

They like the littlest things. It doesn't take hardly any money at all. Individual packs of KoolAid or Crystal Lite, tampons (I always choose women soldiers as I feel many service organizations forget about them,) magazines (they love People, Enquirer, etc. as they get a lot of Maxim & Muscle mags for the guys and not much for the women.)

Or even a letter saying you hope they will stay safe and come home soon. Just any little thing.

If you go to anysoldier.com and click on "where to send," you will see a picture of Jennifer Hartman. On her MySpace under "what do you fear most?" she answered, "getting blown up in Iraq." Well that is just what happened. I went to the site to see if her address was still current and instead got her obit. Devestating. I'm going to send off her package to another soldier right now, it's depressing to have it around.

Please consider remembering Jennifer by remembering another soldier. She would like that.
