Let’s Say Thanks!

Here’s your chance to write a few words that make a difference in someone’s life … and all writers want to do that!

Let’s Say Thanks will print and mail a postcard to a deployed soldier to thank them for their service. There is a choice of several patriotic designs, all created by children. Choose a design, then type in your message. Xerox prints and mails the postcards once a month.

You can’t choose who the message goes to, but every one of our soldiers can benefit from a word of encouragement. If you want to send cards directly to people you know, you can download designs and print your own postcards.

This is support of our troops, who put themselves in harm’s way for our freedom. Regardless of how you feel about government actions, our troops deserve our appreciation and support.

Fr. Jerry Sherbourne, who was my priest at All Saints Anglican Church before joining the Army as a chaplain, is currently stationed in Iraq. He is involved with a project, Operation School Drop/Double Blessing, to collect educational games and toys for Iraqi school children. Not only does this directly benefit the kids, it also helps win hearts and mind … and blesses the soldiers who participate in this positive activity.
