Thanks-A-Million-Campaign - Thank Our Veterans Thursday November 11
by Michelle Carr-Crowe, Your San Jose Saratoga Cupertino Homes Expert
Veteran's Day is this Thursday, November 11. It's not too late to participate in the Wreaths Across America Thanks-A-Million-Campaign. The nonprofit needs Your Help To Meet The Goal Of Thanking One Million Veterans
Help Us Distribute 1 Million Thank You Cards By Veterans Day!
Over 500,000 thank you cards were distributed by Memorial Day. The number went over 700,000 by the end of summer. But they still 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 a veteran's service and sacrifice - and we will never forget.
If you aren't familiar with the Wreaths Across America thank you cards... here's the story:
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 Wreaths of America to share how he 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. (I love this idea and plan to try it myself this year.)
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! ($5 shipping & handling per 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 (1900 after my order) of you out there who feel the same way?
Tell your friends. Our veterans will be marching on November 11th and we want to thank them a million times over.

Silicon Valley Honors Fallen Soldiers with Wreaths Across America on Dec. 12
Silicon Valley Honors Fallen Soldiers with Wreaths Across America on Dec. 12
by Michelle C. Carr-Crowe
This December 12th, Silicon Valley joins Wreaths Across America to honor fallen soldiers with their annual laying of the wreaths ceremony. A non-profit organization honoring both active and fallen soldiers, Wreaths Across America started in 1992 and has grown to 350 participating locations. It first began at Arlington National Cemetary. You can see the YouTube video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZayzlDwk89o.
If you haven't seen the moving sight of a cemetary adorned with wreaths of remembrance, click http://www.wreathsacrossamerica.org.
In Silicon Valley, three different locations are participating: Golden Gate National Cemetary in San Bruno, Calif. (contact Col. Leo P. McArdle), San Francisco National Cemetary at the Presidio (contact Capt. Katrin M. Cusack), and Madronia Cemetary in Saratoga, Calif., (contact William Snider). The coordinators for the respective locations are: Col. Leo P. McArdle, Capt. Katrin M. Cusack and William Snider. You can browse through the 350 participating locations at http://www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/Locations/.
The motto of Wreaths Across America is Remember, Honor, Teach. By remembering and honoring our soldiers with these wreaths, and teaching others about the program, we bless those who gave their all, as well as their families. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah or no holiday at all this season, these veterans are deserving of your honor and remembrance.
It's only $15 to sponsor an individual wreath for a veteran. In addition, Wreaths Across America offers a variety of ways to participate include $1 programs, corporate sponsorships, patches, and note cards, as well as Patriot Pairs. You may also sponsor a wreath in someone else’s name.
The laying of the wreaths ceremony is on December 12. Please consider supporting this worthy recognition of those who've given their all that we may live to celebrate another holiday.
For details on how to help, participate and sponsor at the local Silicon Valley locations, click any of the following links: Golden Gate National Cemetary in San Bruno, Calif. (contact Col. Leo P. McCardle), San Francisco National Cemetary at the Presidio (contact Capt. Katrin M. Cusack), and Madronia Cemetary in Saratoga, Calif., (contact William Snider).
For those who will never come back home for the holidays, consider giving a gift to honor all that they gave for us.
