So, here is another website, in this case you can honor veterans, and people who help support the troops in various ways; there's a lot to look at on here.

Donate Your Unused Airline Miles: Operation Hero Miles You can donate unused frequent flyer miles for service men and women wounded or injured in Iraq or Afghanistan or for their families to visit them in the hospital



Welcome to Cell Phones for Soldiers! For this one, you donate your old cell phones for recycling and the money is used to buy calling cards for the troops. You can even print labels for shipping right from this site.
I had to make a slight change to the one regarding frequent flyer miles.

Not sure if someone posted this organization or not because I haven't read everyone's response but Books For Soldiers is a good organization to check out.

Here is a website which helps the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan who, on their own time, are trying to help the everyday citizens in those countries. They need certain donations and this site helps them in their quest. Please take a look: Beyond Orders - Helping US soldiers rise above the call of duty for the Iraqi and Afghan people (http://beyondorders.org/home.asp - broken link)
