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 a member of the armed services. How AMAZING it would be if we
could get everyone we know to send one!!! It is FREE and it only takes a
couple of seconds. Whether you are for or against the war, our soldiers over
there need to know we are behind them. We can never say enough thank you's. If
you do this, let me know for a HW pass.
