I personally love Adoptaplatoon (AAP), I have 4 soldiers that I support, two in which I have *adopted* and two in which I am *pen pals* with. For a pen pal you are required to write a weekly letter, and for an adoption, you write weekly letters and send a monthly care package. Sometimes you hear from them, sometimes you don't. AAP screens all their applicants, so it takes a little time to get involved, but very much worthwhile. The group on the forums (which are being fixed currently) is exceptional as well.
Another support group I have enjoyed greatly is www.anysoldier.com. Servicemembers sign up their group for support and they give updates once a month/once every other month. I have written some exceptional servicemembers this way as well.
Hope that helps!
