Congrats to Mrs Green’s 1st Grade class for getting all those beautiful cards done and ready to be enjoyed by our soldiers, veterans and their families.

I updated this post with a photo of one of the cards. They are so adorable and hand written.

Way to go!!

I will be sending out the personal limit again this year and have forwarded the info to my contact list. I will also be going around to some of businesses in my town that have bulletin boards and will be posting copies of the address and instructions . . .

Everyone can send at least one card . . . support our troops please especially after the Ft Hood shooting . . these guys/gals need to know that we support them!!!!

Dear Ms Sparky

I hope you are doing well. I am working with Pitney Bowes and wanted to reach out to you regarding our 2009 “Holiday Mail for Heroes” campaign with the Red Cross. We certainly appreciated your post last year about the project, and want to thank you again for helping us touch so many service members, family members and veterans in 2008.

This year, the goal of the campaign remains the same: to recruit Americans to send holiday cards with their messages of thanks and cheer to service members, veterans and their families. It is our hope once again that, through this campaign, American service men and women in the U.S. and around the world will receive a much needed touch of home during this holiday season.

This year, information about the Holiday Mail for Heroes campaign can be found at http://www.redcross.org/holidaymail. The site includes information about what types of cards can be sent, how cards should be addressed, and also provides further information regarding how you can get involved. I wanted to see if you would be willing to spread the word about the campaign again this year through your blog, helping us send a touch of home to our U.S. Armed Forces, veterans and their families when they need it most.

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions. I hope to hear from you soon.

Best Regards,

Frank McDade
