OT: Lets say Thanks

If you go to the 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. It is FREE and it only takes a second. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these? I sent mine, now you send one too!

Thank you for posting this! My husband is deployed right now, although not to Iraq, I do know that this simple gesture means a great deal to them!!
Please, everyone, send one .... like Carebear said, it is free for you but priceless for the soldier or Marine who receives it!
Maura.

From a soldier's wife, thanks to everyone who does this! Like jaymo said, it really does mean a lot to them. Every little bit of appreciation reminds them that they are supported even though they're far from home and families!

My BIL is in Irqu right now and my DH is Army Gaurd. So I know first hand how they apreciate the little things. When DH was at training a girl scout group brought them care packages to the base. He said he was in training and didn't need one, but they insisted. He came home with 5 boxes of cookies and some other goodies.

Thanks for posting this .
Aso a BIG thank you to all of those
family members left at home to worry .
Our family doesn't take our freedom for
granted.
Many people have paid dearly for it .
My brother in law was deployed a couple
of years ago , for a year .
My prayers are with you all.
