WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Dept. of Defense is responding to queries from thousands of Americans who are again asking what they can do to show their support for service members, especially those serving overseas in this time of war? The following are websites for several organizations sponsoring programs for members of the Armed Forces overseas. While it would be inappropriate for DoD to endorse any specifically, service members do value and appreciate such expressions of support: •   Donate a calling card to help keep service members in touch with their families at Operation Uplink at www.operationuplink.org •   Make a donation to one of the military relief societies:     • Army Emergency Relief at www.aerhq.org     • Navy/Marine Relief Society at www.nmcrs.org     • Air Force Aid Society at www.afas.org     • Coast Guard Mutual Assistance at www.cgmahq.org •   Volunteer at a VA Hospital to honor veterans who bore the lamp of freedom in past conflicts. www.va.gov/volunteer/ •   Support families whose loved ones are being treated at military and VA hospitals through a donation to the Fisher House at www.fisherhouse.org •   Reach out to military families in your community, especially those with a loved one overseas. •   Purchase a CertifiCheck redeemable for merchandise or groceries at AAFES/DeCA by calling 1-877-770-4438 (GIFT) or logging on to www.aafes.com or www.commissaries.com. •   Adopt a unit through the Veteran's of Foreign Wars "Adopt-A-Unit" program, www.vfw.org •   Find opportunities for volunteering through www.serve.gov/.
