Thank the Troops

Want to send a Holiday thank you to our troops, well one of them anyway.
Xerox has a website where you pick out a card and personalize it. Then Xerox prints them up and distributes them to the troops.

You can't specify a particular soldier or include naked pictures of yourself, but you'll warm someones day.

It was their vote for Kerry... they were lost at sea.

We're going this direction for charitable giving this yearHomes for Our Troops. You can give a donation in another's name for Christmas.

I wonder how they define "the troops"

It's not like there's five people sitting somewhere in Balugaluga-land waiting for snailmail to arrive.

Depending on the charity you use, you can usually get pretty specific.

I recently read a newspaper article about Sears Holding Corporation (which owns Sears and Kmart) teaming up with the public charity [501(c)(3) status] USA Cares which is dedicated to needy service members and their families. The charity is listed on the Sears holiday shopping site "readysetholiday" and there is a link to the charity specific web page. Contributors are able to purchase gifts for donation, to service members' families, from a wish list that the families submit to the charity. The wish list is extensive and may be slow to load; but, it appears in its entirety. Many of the items requested are quite modest. This seems to be a worthwhile endeavor for those with little disposable income; but, lots of heart.
