Adopting a U.S. Soldier

My soldier just came home for a short time,my wife & daughter took him & his mom out to lunch in the city:occasion:

Very cool. I have what they call a "Silent Soldier," I haven't heard from him, in fact when a soldier signs up they are told they are under no obligation whatsoever. After all they are fighting a war, they have enough on their plate. I kinda like the idea of helping a stranger. I figure whatever free time he has I would rather him spend staying in touch with his wife and kids than being in touch with me.
