HIGHTSTOWN, N.J. -- With the New Jersey National Guard slated to have its largest deployment since World War II later this year with some 3,000 soldiers being deployed to Iraq, the New Jersey Credit Union League is showing its support by teaming up with Adopt-A-Soldier Platoon.

The League's partnership with Adopt-a-Soldier Platoon is twofold--to care for deployed soldiers and their families.

The partnership will support the soldiers in Iraq with care cartons of personal care items, snacks and other goodies to make them feel valued while providing support to families at home who are having difficulties because the man or woman of the house is not around.

Family support can range from raking leaves and cleaning the house, to going shopping and picking up laundry, whatever a military family might need.
