There are many benefits that any student can receive from a tutor, including attention, a relationship, and self esteem, and online tutoring adds the additional benefits of availability, selection, and value. For military families, however, the availability of an online tutor, who can continuously work with a student regardless of transfers, can be particularly valuable, even essential. As part of an ongoing relationship, an online tutor can provide stability and direction to the student’s education, as well as a consistently personal, caring, and effective in-home educational experience, wherever the student may be located.
Even kids who can count on staying in one place sometimes need the help of a tutor to supplement the educational attention they receive at school, and this can be even more so when the student has to learn from different textbooks and different teachers repeatedly. But while kids who stay in one place can establish a long-term relationship with an in-person tutor, kids whose parents are in the military don’t always have this luxury.
One distinctive factor in the lives of military members is tranfers. U.S. soldiers, and their families, often have to plan for the possibility of being transferred to a different one of many military bases, within the U.S. and overseas, often frequently, and sometimes on short notice. For children in school, this can mean having to keep up with their studies among schools that may have very different curricula and methods of teaching, sometimes being transferred among multiple school districts in a single school year.
With the holidays approaching, many American service members will not be coming home. One military family, with a loved one overseas, speaks about the price they’re paying.
Question by critter: What is the best way to thank our military personnel & families?
I’d like to mainly hear from the military & families. I’m not talking about whether or not we agree with any specific military objective from the administration, but rather how to thank these servicepeople & families who are making huge sacrifices for us.

Answer by Realist
Contact the families who have lost a son, father, mother, sister and do a fund raiser for them. I’m sure now those families are financially hurting since they lost an income.
Volunteer to go over there and be part of it before you approach those families. Because you will never know what they are going through unless you experience it.

T-T…
it juz made me cry~…
aaaaaa
@trav1971 I agree. God bless them and bring them home safe
lol
god bless our troops
As a proud Army wife, the only thing that matters to me is that people VOCALIZE their love and support for us. Just thank us. That’s all. We don’t need any huge rewards or anything.
Although, an Audi TT would be a great gift. *Smile*
But I’d be content with a videotape of American commercials. Living in Germany the last two years, I haven’t seen ANY American commercials at all. I sure do miss them.
Best way is to give them our support. Remember, nobody wants to be there, except bush of course.
World peace would be a great thank you.
It’s hard to wrap though.
Call your local VFW (veterans of foreign wars) some of them do fund raising drives to buy phone cards for soldiers to call home with.
Also, the USO and even your local base can give you more ideas. There are also websites where you can write thank you cards to members of the military who are wounded and certainly need your thanks and support.
Like you said, it doesn’t matter how you feel about the war, support our soldiers for the super job they do going in harm’s way for very little pay and perks. They are all volunteers so, they do it by choice, not draft.

the best support i can think of is to join up if you can.or start a group to assist families of deployed sailors ans soldiers. my hubby says your welcome. he is currently deployed
I personally gone up to military personnel and thanked them for their service. I saw a bumper sticker on a car that said MY SON IS A MARINE and as she got out of the car, I stood at attention and saluted her and said GOD BLESS YOU, MA’AM!(As a retired military person, I feel we have earned the right to salute in our civilian clothes.)
If you want to do something for our troops, check out the following site. It costs nothing to join and there are no dues or meetings. Pass the info on.
As someone else mentioned, I think the best thing you can do is vocalize your support & appreciation. Sometimes, being thanked can really improve a day for a spouse or parent who is at home, especially while thier soldier is deployed overseas. It touches our hearts.
As for other things, there are sites out there to “adopt a soldier” where you can send packages and notes. Mail can be worth it’s weight in gold
