Let's Say Thanks

With all the chaos in the world including two wars, the economy, Swine Flu, natural disasters, random acts of insanity and our own personal problems, we sometimes forget to voice our thanks to those who make our way of life a possibility.

Well, XEROX Corporation, along with other corporate partners and two wonderful Not-For-Profits called Give2TheTroops, and Operation Gratitude, have arranged for all of us to send a dandy holiday note of Thanksgiving to a member of the American Armed Forces serving overseas.

This quote is directly from the “About Us” section of the Let’s Say Thanks website.

“The mission of Let's Say Thanks is to provide a way for individuals to recognize U.S. troops stationed overseas by sending a free personalized postcard greeting to deployed servicemen and women.
The postcards, depicting patriotic scenes and hometown images, were selected from a pool of entries from children across the country.
All you have to do is click on your favorite design and either select the message that best expresses your sentiment or draft a personal note. The postcards are then printed on the Xerox iGen3® Digital Production Press and mailed in care packages by military support organization Give2TheTroops®.”

Please take a minute and click here. I promise not only will you get that warm Thanksgiving feeling, you'll pass it along to someone you will never meet.

This program is ongoing and I am sure lots of service members would love to hear from all of us during the upcoming holiday season.

The picture above is the one I selected for my card. It was drawn by Adrielle, age 12, and she lives in Conesus, NY.

Happy Thanksgiving.
