Easiest way to get in touch with our troops
I seriously cant send along an easier way to send a note to our troops. This is a great site. You simply pick a card, click on a message (or write your own) and hit submit. Its just that easy. Everyone give a hand for XEROX as this is a great contribution they are making to both civilians and soldiers. Every note counts, trust me. Go there now and send a quick note...hell do it daily! The designs are done by kids and are priceless. Guess which one I sent!
