Something cool that Xerox is doing ... Please take a moment to go

wonderful of
each of our soldiers (and Marines, of course) received a bunch of
these???
If you go to this web site,
www.LetsSayThanks.comyou can pick out
a thank
you card. Then Xerox will print it and send it to a soldier
currently serving in Iraq .
You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to some member of
the armed
services.
Have a super day!
So what is your point?
My point is that the "Support the Troops" concept is one where the
troops can actually read a personalized card of support. It really is
a
great idea, one I would think you would readily endorse.
Someone sent me that link a week or so ago, and I sent a few and then
did a general distribution to people in my email. I have it set up as
my home page, so I will fill out a new one every time I log on. As
nice as you passing along the words of support are to your son and
friends, an actually card is nice also and if we get enough people to
do
it, will impact even more than your son and friends.
www.LetsSayThanks.com
ps - I would recommend you tell your son that everyone you know,
including those in rec.boats pass along their prayers and Godspeed.
That
way you have covered your verbal pass along and then you can fill out
the "www.letsaythanks.com", so more soldiers will get warm words of
support during the holiday season.
The only support the troops concept that matters is to work to get them
the hell out of Iraq.- Hide quoted text -

"F" you, you are the last person to tell us what someone serving their
country would want. I don't think someone like you could even really
understand why someone would serve in the first place...


Au contraire. I can understand why a young man or woman would want to
donate a couple of years of his or her life to public service, whatever
direction that service takes. I will admit that going into military
service with a good chance of ending up in Bush's idiotic war in Iraq
makes no sense to me.


Yep, it is time Bush either delivered Osama Bin Laden's head or get the ****
out. Let the Taliban kill their own people as they rebuild and perhaps the
UN will get off their buts in fear once the next crop of dictators grow up
with power.

No kidding, you can stay in war like this for too long. They like you at
first then kill you. Save it for a nuke later. Costs too damn much.
