Hello! As you can probably guess by my username, I live in Southern CA (no, my real name isn't "Cali" :)). I'm working as a substitute teacher while I complete my master's degree to become a School Psychologist. Among other hobbies, I've been sending cards and care packages overseas for 5 years now (since January '03). My grandpa was a Colonel (and pretty darn good fighter pilot) in the USMC and my parents instilled in me from a young age an appreciation and respect for our military. I'm grateful for the friendships that I've made because of programs like AnySoldier.com- friendships with both the troops and other civilian supporters! :)
