It will give you directions on how to adopt one. You have to choose a soldier and then request thier address. You then send them a letter and if they can they will write ytou back. Then go from there. Good Luck</description></item><item><title>Re: Happy Holiday</title><link>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/forums/thread/339898.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 05 Jul 2009 15:54:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0655a56b-2503-4342-b806-50877dcd70da:339898</guid><dc:creator>kshelleby</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/forums/thread/339898.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/cruisetalk/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=18100&amp;PostID=339898</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="/Themes/ccl_default/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;tekel8:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Great idea!

I agree that we tend to over-look those that have served our Country. Just found out a few weeks ago that Nora, my neighbor of 9 years was a WAC. Small world sometimes isn&amp;#39;t it? Go figure that an Army and Air Force veteran can be best friends!! I know that my DS alway&amp;#39;s gets Veterans Day off (works for the County) and my brother and I (both Vet&amp;#39;s) never did. One year my DS and I decided that I would take the day off and we would go to the gambling boat in Indiana. We did not tell our DH&amp;#39;s we were doing this! On the way down my DS told me, just don&amp;#39;t win over $1,200.00 and no one has to know. Guess what?!? I won $1,600.00. Yes I had to fill out the tax form for Uncle Sam. Of course I had to tell my DH (who is a CPA) when it came tax time!!! He wasn&amp;#39;t really amused!!!!</description></item><item><title>Re: Happy Holiday</title><link>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/forums/thread/338756.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2009 23:50:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0655a56b-2503-4342-b806-50877dcd70da:338756</guid><dc:creator>lorri</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/forums/thread/338756.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/cruisetalk/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=18100&amp;PostID=338756</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Rich, what a nice thing to do!!!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Happy 4th of July&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Happy Holiday</title><link>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/forums/thread/338389.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2009 14:40:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0655a56b-2503-4342-b806-50877dcd70da:338389</guid><dc:creator>Simple Man</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/forums/thread/338389.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/cruisetalk/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=18100&amp;PostID=338389</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="/Themes/ccl_default/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Steve-o:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;
