Let's Say Thanks - A Tribute to Our Troops YOU can Participate In! - 11/23/08 11:07 AM
 
                                              
 
This terrific website, sponsored by Xerox, consists of many different drawings by school children designed to be reproduced as postcards, and sent by us to our troops to express our thanks for their service to our country. It is a remarkable collection, and a wonderful idea. I encourage you all to take a moment, (a moment is all it takes), and choose one of these designs to be sent to Iraq!

Thanks to you ALL for your courage and dedication to our country!

Colorado Jails To Provide Inmates With "Missing Persons" Playing Cards

Newspapers Moving to "Online" ONLY- Not just the RE section! - 11/01/08 09:09 PM
