[MR] OT Overseas vets

[Sharon Henderson]

Which reminds me to ask:

Do we have a list of Atlantians and folk from other kingdoms who are active
duty at the moment, and deployed?  A way to show our love and respect might
be to send them notes and the occasional letter, and packages as
needed--especially at the winter holiday seasons, but any time.  They're
giving up an awful lot for our sakes--we here have an opportunity to give
something back.

Also, if their families have any needs, it would seem to me a most
chivalrous and loving gesture if we check in on them from time to time.

So, is there a list anywhere of who's out at the post of danger and how we
can reach them?  And their families?  If we don't have such a list, I would
humbly offer my services to coordinate such a thing.

in thankful Service,
Meli
