Let's Say Thanks in Support of Our Troops





A friend sent me this e-mail this morning:



"Something cool that Xerox is doing:


Go to this web site: www.LetsSayThanks.com


There you can pick out a thank you card andXerox 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... "


I checked it out on Snopes.com to make sure it was legit and it is! Apparently they have been doing this since 2006. What a great program!


Here is more info about the program directly from the Let's Say Thanks website:


"The mission of Let's Say Thanks is to provide a way for individuals across the country to recognize U.S. troops stationed overseas. By submitting a message through this site you have the opportunity to send 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®.To date, more than 12,000 postcards have been mailed to soldiers.


Xerox is committed to helping people across the nation express their gratitude to our troops overseas. The launch of this program is aimed at reminding them how much Americans appreciate their service."
