FOR OUR MILITARY

Something cool that Xerox is doing If you go to this web site, www.LetsSayThanks.com you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq . You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed services. How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!! This is a great site. Please send a card. It is FREE and it only takes a second. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these? Whether you are for or against the war, our guys and gals over there need to know we are behind them ... MESSAGES FROM THE MILITARY MEN/WOMEN ABOUT RECEIVING THESE CARDS :D A couple of the soldiers have received boxes from your organization [Give2TheTroops]. What your organizations [Give2TheTroops and Xerox] are doing is a fantastic thing and we would like to also say thanks to the individuals that sent the cards with the boxes. Mark Beckett, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, Army I received several of the post cards in our care box from the NC branch of [Give2TheTroops]! We really appreciate them. The drawings by the children are wonderful, and they put smiles on our faces. We know that our mission is important, but it's nice to be reminded by others! Thank you America for your contributions to the morale of the troops over here in Operation Enduring Freedom! A military sergeant Good People of the United States, We appreciate those of you back home who think of us and send things. We are proud of our nation and all the Americans who reside in it. No matter what happens or where we are, America is our homeland, and we are proud to be of service to it. A Marine lance corporal Madysen, Ashley, Hayden, Rebecca, Asia, Cher, Kelly, Stephanie, Rayquan, Nestor, Lindsey, and all of the children and adults with "Lets Say Thanks," Thank you very much for taking the time to write to myself and other soldiers while we are deployed overseas. Everyone appreciates all of your support and all of the things you are doing at home to make our lives a little better here. The men of Team Delta 3rd Battalion, 8th Cavalry “The Dragoons” thank you for supporting our team. We are a Heavy Armored Company Team made up of Armor, Infantry, and Support elements operating out of Forward Operating Base Brassfield-Mora, near Samara, Iraq, in support of Iraqi Freedom. We are stationed at Fort Hood, TX; however, the Soldiers and Paratroopers of the company come from all over the United States. Team Delta’s mission in Iraq is to train and prepare Iraqi Security Forces to assume control of their country, promote domestic security, and increase economic growth. In our short time here we have made significant progress for the people of Iraq, which are grateful. We are grateful that you, and many others like you, have taken the time to show you care about the Soldiers and Paratroopers serving on freedoms’ frontier. You are the reason that Soldiers like us are willing to sacrifice so much. An Air Force Reserve lieutenant colonel I'm a U.S. Marine Captain stationed in Afghanistan; my tour a duty ends here in October. I want to thank you, your friends and family for their support. I picked up one of your post cards the other day. This was the first post card/ letter I've received since arriving here over two months ago. The card was signed Stacy, Ciara, Donna, Nick, Tom, David, Vulle, Vosh, Pat and Trish. I hope you and your family have a wonderful summer. Thanks for thinking of us (U.S. service members). A Marine captain THANK YOU for sponsoring this program. I’ve been on the receiving end of this kind of thing, and I can tell you it reinforces our fundamental beliefs and motivations. God Bless, An Air Force Reserve lieutenant colonel This isn't an inquiry, simply a thank you. My sister sent me a link to your Web site; it was the first that I had heard of this program. I think that it is a wonderful service that you are providing to our men and women who are deployed overseas. It is always tough to be away from your family, but especially so during the holidays. Little things, like your postcard program, make HUGE impacts to the morale of the people you are sending them to. Many thanks for funding this wonderful project and best wishes. An Air Force technical sergeant I am currently stationed in Mosul, Iraq. I am writing to thank you and your organization [Give2TheTroops] for forwarding the hundreds of gift bags, Christmas cards and messages of support to our service men and women. The[Let's Say Thanks] cards and gifts [from [Give2TheTroops] brought smiles and joy to us during this holiday season. Thank you very much. Please send a special thanks to: The Beavers Family, Phillips Family, Bess, Kate, Kathryn, Will R, Bess, Patrick, Zack, Sophie, Amanda, and Kelly from Atlanta, Rosalind, Robyn, Robin, Natalie, and Nancy from Lawrenceville, Ga.; Cody, Chelsea, Laurel, and Carson & Ryan from Rome, Ga.; the hundreds of cards from Las Vegas, like those from Helga, Jan and Janet (Thanks for the hugs). And lastly to the Let’s Say Thanks organization, thank you for bringing the support and smiles to our soldiers, airmen, sailors, and marines serving their country; in and out of harm’s way. God bless you and God bless America. An Army first sergeant Regarding your site, I recently returned from a year in Iraq, and the memory of my experience is still fresh. So let me tell you most seriously, your support for us and what you are doing to facilitate others in their support is intensely moving and powerfully helpful. It is just living proof of the good in our country that we are fighting for. THANK YOU! An Air Force Reserve lieutenant colonel Thank you for what you are doing, it too is greatly appreciated! An Air Force staff sergeant I would like to thank you for this wonderful program. I am a deployed soldier overseas and someone sent this link to me. I was able to download some of the cards; these cards are truly an inspiration to us. I will frame and keep them forever. As the holiday season approaches it makes for a difficult time alone. The cards lift our spirits and allow us to continue with our duties. Special thanks to the children of America and especially to the ones who will someday follow in our footsteps to defend our country. An Army sergeant first class I am a fire fighter in the Alaska Air National Guard. I have done one tour and am getting ready for my second. I just heard about this program and think it is absolutely wonderful. I know that while we are there, messages of support from home mean the world to us. I just wanted to say my thanks to you. A National Guardsman I just wanted to say thank you for this movement. As someone that has been over in Iraq, nothing compares to getting mail. I just wanted to let your corporation know how much this is appreciated from me and others I work with. Thank you. A Navy lieutenant As I was leaving an un-eventful Valentine's Day today, one of the mail clerks yelled "Adams!! You have a package!!" A package, I thought to myself. I'm not expecting anything. What could this be? I took the box into my office and closed the door. As I opened the box, a flood of joy came over me as I looked over the cards from you and the young ones, one of my co-workers walked in to see tears rolling down my eyes. I had never received a gift with this much love, packed into one little place from someone that I've never known. As I thought about what the cards talked about with soldiers giving their lives and privileges up to ensure the freedom of Americans, it was nice to know that someone out there does not take it for granted. I don't know who you are, but you are truly a gift from God. The gift that gives me the drive to serve my country proudly. As you pray that the Lord keeps the soldiers here safe and brings us home, I pray to the Lord that people like you do not die off from this world. Your contributions are nowhere near inadequate. Please never forget what this means to a soldier. Thank you for your love and thoughts.
