Way off Topic, and I apologize

But I thought that this crowd might agree that this is a worthy post.

If you go to the web site at http://www.letssaythanks.com you can pick out a thank you card and the Xerox Corporation 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. It is FREE and it only takes a second. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these?

I was over there last time (Desert Storm) and I can confirm that these things do help. Personal letters are better but anything from home is better than nothing.

I think it is a great idea. maybe a mod could move it to the general non auto section as it might get more traffic that way.

Sent one myself. A cool story for everyone... My nephew just graduated boot camp last week, and while walking into a restaurant with my parents, he was in uniform, and a car drove by, and the occupants yelled out to him "thanks for your service!!" He was totally caught off guard... It is nice to hear that kind of story...

And... it's away! Good to see some people standing behind the troops, and not telling them they're terrorists or wasting thier time.

Sent one. Someone should make this a sticky thread so it stays on the top where everyone can see it.
