PRNewswire/ -- Subscriptions for Soldiers is calling on the American public this Veterans Day to remember those soldiers who put their lives in danger today to ensure the safety of the country. Citizens have the opportunity to sponsor an active-deployed service member's request for their favorite magazine subscription by simply visiting www.subs4soldiers.com and making a $10 donation.
Launched by Magazines.com in 2008, Subscriptions for Soldiers provides free magazines to soldiers serving overseas. For deployed service members, receiving a monthly magazine can boost morale in stressful times and serve as a source of entertainment and a connection to home. "Veterans Day is a time for people to remember our troops and give back to the men and women serving our country," says Jay Clarke, president and CEO of Magazines.com.
Now nearing its 90th anniversary, Veterans Day is a time to remember those who sacrificed everything to serve their country, and the service members who continue to carry out the honorable task of service.
Veterans Through The Years
In 1944, Jimmy Gentry of Franklin, Tenn. was 18 years old and joined the U.S. Army to serve in World War II with the 42nd Infantry Division. "Back then, the only thing we had to look forward to was a letter from home," Gentry says.
In 1991, Gary Barksdale of Lexington, Ky. was deployed to Desert Storm. "I can't begin to tell you how much we enjoyed hearing from our friends while serving overseas," says retired Maj. Barksdale. The importance of being remembered still rings clear with Barksdale today. "Our soldiers need morale support from home to help them get through tough times."
Sgt. Jonathan Wardell, based in Ft. Bragg, N.C., joined the Army in 2005. Serving two tours in both Iraq and Afghanistan, Wardell's words resonate with those veterans who fought before him. "Getting a package from home was the one thing we had to look forward to," Wardell recalls. "We felt isolated, and any reminder of America was like a light at the end of a tunnel." Like many other veterans, Veterans Day for Wardell is a time to think of comrades and be thankful for the simple pleasures of home, like a magazine, that give soldiers a taste of America.
This Veterans Day, please visit www.subs4soldiers.com and show your support to a service member overseas with a monthly reminder of home -- a magazine.

Americans Called to Duty on Behalf of 6,000 Soldiers Overseas
Subscriptions for Soldiers is calling on the American public to take action and support deployed U.S. service members - about 350,000 of them to date - by helping to fill more than 6,000 requests for magazine subscriptions from men and women serving overseas through http://www.subs4soldiers.com.
In an effort to boost morale of American troops and provide relief from stress they endure every day by providing a monthly reminder of home, Subscriptions for Soldiers was launched by Magazines.com in April 2008 to provide free magazines to soldiers serving overseas. In the first three weeks, the program received more than 8,000 requests for magazine subscriptions from deployed service members. Currently, more than 6,000 subscriptions need to be filled, and the organization is reaching out to the American public to meet these soldiers' wishes.
"With a $10 donation, you can let a service member know they are remembered and give them something to look forward to each month," says Jay Clarke, president and CEO of Magazines.com. "At the heart of Subscriptions for Soldiers is a campaign to connect service members, those they serve and the life we all cherish."
With the war in the Middle East entering its seventh year, it is important to offer support to service members overseas. Depression and anxiety are common problems among soldiers serving long and multiple deployments. For active duty service members, receiving a monthly magazine can boost morale in stressful times.
"Magazines provide a source of entertainment that can be re-read and shared with others," says Kitty Pedigo, business development manager of Magazines.com. "They give service members a small break from their everyday stress and help them stay focused on the task at hand."
Many Americans may want to give back to those serving overseas, but the time and money required to put care packages together and ship them from the post office can be challenging. "Having access to an affordable and easy resource that provides soldiers with a magazine each month makes it easier for those who want to let a service member know they are appreciated," says Clarke.
To sponsor a subscription, individuals can visit http://www.subs4soldiers.com and submit a donation of $10 or more, which will be used to fill the magazine request of a soldier overseas. For more information, visit http://www.subs4soldiers.com.
