Project Postcard

Uncle Ian and Uncle Rick - I love these boys so much....one is my brother and one is my brother by another mother:) Though married to my sister so I guess that would make that a little weird:) Both are currently deployed to Afghanistan and it is time to show them both a WHOLE LOTTA LOVE!!!

So enter PROJECT POSTCARD......my little brain child of an idea to send them each as many postcards that we can during their deployment. They've both been deployed for a few months now so we've got some catching up to do.

Here's where you get to help -I would LOVE LOVE LOVE and be eternally grateful to you if you sent each of them a postcard with maybe a little message, a thought, a poem, a scripture or just a "Hi, thanks for your service to our country" type kind of postcard. Nothing fancy, just something to know they are thought of and loved by all of us back at home. And it will cost a whopping 28 cents to mail. I'll even mail you a packet of postcards and postcard stamps if you need some.

This is also a great project for your children's classrooms, boy scouts, girl scouts, church groups, women's groups....anything you can think of. Miss S's class just finished postcards for each of them - so now I have a beautiful pile of almost 50 postcards to mail:) YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

My whole comment just got lost (boohoo)

We will definately try to do this, my boys are all about our soldiers and would love to send something to our troops

We are PROUD to be Americans and would love to send a little love to our brave boys (is there a way to send to more soldiers?)

Thank you for the opportunity and for putting a face on those who fight for our freedom.


PS My oldest was born Sept 12 2001 (the day after the attack, which probably sent e into labor) and I am more than greatful to those who serve so my boys can live in the land of the free.
