June 17, 2008 - Gift-givers visit www.subs4soldiers.com to donate a subscription to a service member they know or be paired anonymously with a service member who has submitted a request. Each service member may request up to three subscriptions by visiting www.subs4servicemembers.com.
“We believe there are many Americans, regardless of how they feel about the politics of war, who really want to let our troops, all over the world, know how much we appreciate them,” said Jay Clarke, Magazines.com CEO, “At the same time there are soldiers far away from their families who long for a little taste of home.”
Subscriptions for Soldiers has gathered approximately 9,000 subscription wishes and will continue to solicit wishes from service members with the help of Stars and Stripes and Military.com. This inexpensive but meaningful gift-giving service will continue indefinitely and is already getting good reviews from participating service members.
“Programs like [this] allow soldiers/airmen/Marines/sailors the chance to forget about the possibility of losing your life and those around you for a few minutes a day. And those fleeting, precious minutes are a welcome break from the rigors of war,” said 2nd Lt. Matt, of the U.S. Air Force.
For service members deployed overseas, receiving a favorite magazine is like getting a little piece of home every month. For more information, visit www.subs4soldiers.com.
