Thank Our Armed Forces Personnel Thanks-A-Million

Wreaths Across America needs your help to complete their Thanks-A-Million campaign and succeed in distributing 1 million thank you cards by this Veterans Day, November 11, 2010.

Over 500,000 thank you cards were distributed by Memorial Day…the number went over 700,000 by the end of summer…But we need your help complete the 'Thanks-A-Million' goal of distributing one million thank you cards to our veterans, active military, and their families.

It is a small token but all together a big way of saying we appreciate your service and sacrifice - and we will never forget.

If you aren't familiar with the thank you cards... here's the story in a nutshell:
If you are reading this than you are likely of the same mind that we are - that all those who serve in harm's way and sacrifice to provide our freedoms, deserve to be thanked. And without appreciation for what we have and enjoy on a daily basis, those priveleges might one day disappear.

We all know we should do it, but how do you approach a veteran - and say thank you? That's what the thank you card does. It is a proper excuse, and a keepsake at the same time. And with each single card we are telling all those who served - and their families - we will never forget.

David Haskell of NH wrote in to tell us how when he distributes his cards, he gives away two. One for the person he is thanking (he signs his name on it) and a second for the recipient to give away and keep the line moving.

Ask anyone who has shaken a hand and offered the card - the experience is as important and moving for the giver as it is for those we thank.
And the best part is, THEY ARE FREE!

Yes, we do ask folks to pay shipping and handling. But you will get 100 business-card sized thank you cards. And there are only 200,000 left!

That's right. We need do give away only 200,000 cards in the next two weeks to reach our goal!

Are there 2000 of you out there who feel the same way we do?

Tell your friends. Our veterans will be marching on November 11th and we are going to thank them a million times over.
