Hoorrahhh for XEROX and for YOU putting up this post!!

Susie, and hoorrahh for you going in and sending a card.

This is great Danny!I have had a number of people send me this or something similar...Let's not forget them!

Rick, I have seen a ton of different versions.

This is great! I just sent a card. It was quick and easy. Who is next?

Thanks for helping Rich.

Thanks for posting this, it is wonderful. I will definitely be clicking that link and saving it to favorites! They are doing their job and do not get much credit for it and they seem to get lost in the hustle and bustle of our daily routines. It does not take much to say Thank You to those that are protecting our freedom.

Cris, Amen. You said it all. Thanks for helping out.

Danny:

Good post.  We cannot show enough support for our troops and the sacrifices they have made for our freedom.

This reminds me of another blog that I recently read created by Mary Warren.  Her recommendation is to also remember our wounded soldiers recovering at Walter Reed many of whom are without local families and struggling with their recovery efforts.

And there is a member of the AR community who also needs some cheering up this year.  She is Gayle Balaban based in Tennessee who's feeling "Lost and Alone with MS in Tennessee" which was a recent posting of hers.  I'm planning to send her a holiday card as well.

Bill that you are correct about.

Michael, that is an awesome thought. I wish I could send everyone on ActiveRain a card.         

Danny, great post!  As you know my daughter is in the Army.  While I am fortunate to have her home this year for Christmas, we are mentally preparing for the holidays overseas next year.  She often mentions it is the little things like this that makes the time away more tolerable.  Thanks for being a great support of our troops.

Brande, it is just a little portion. It is the people that actually click the link that deserve the thanks.

ALL -- I need to retract my prior comment about sending holiday cards to Walter Reed.  I saw a brief spot on the evening news that stated Walter Reed isn't in a position to accept items which are not addressed to a specific individual.  Apparently this kind gesture has completely spiralled out of control - something like the kid who had cancer and wanted to hold a world record for get-well cards.

Michael, that is just sad that they can not accommodate this.
