This is so cool and SO easy, who wouldn’t want to do it? Let’s Say Thanks is a site that lets you send a postcard to one of our soldiers overseas. They’ve made is so SO simple, though, that I just want to kiss them. Just pick out a design — the cards are designed by kids, isn’t that great? — pick out a sentiment or write your own — and click SEND. They print up the card and send it for you!
I went over to the site and started getting all choked up. Happens to me every time with anything relating to the military. I have no relatives in the military; I actually don’t know anyone who’s currently in the military. It’s just the idea that anyone would do this for us. That, combined with all the sweet, heartfelt drawings from these kids.
What a perfect thing to do for the holidays!
Here are a few designs I’m enjoying:
I love the sentiment on this one …
This makes me laugh … yeah, muscle car!!
Because I am in love with the tree here, I think this may be one that I send ….
I love the detail on this one … another one I’m sending ….
Before I could even TELL what it said or saw the location, I said to myself, “Oh, this kid’s from San Diego.” Hahaha! I know my people.
Okay. I’ve got some postcards to send.
Thanks for posting this Tracey. I’m getting teared up just reading it…I have a friend whose brother was killed by an IED back in Sept. He left behind a wife and a month old son. He is a true hero!
I’ll be sending off a bunch of my own…
Oh, sam! I am so so sorry to hear that! Oh, how sad. Yes, he is a true hero.
“Like an American muscle car.” LOL! HOORAY FOR HORSEPOWER!
And sam, so sorry. That’s heartwrenching.
Thanks Tracey and WordGirl… especially for posting this link so people can send thanks to our troops. They deserve all the praise and thanks that we can heap on them!
