Letters to military

Hi all,

It is that time of year to give thanks to our soldiers who are fighting overseas.  Bert's Big Thank You is once again looking for thank you letter for soldiers.  Their goal is 1 million letters.  Let's help them out!  The parameters are listed on http://www.bigthankyou2014.com/ and the requirements are listed below. The deadline is October 30th.  But they need to be to me by the 29th. I hope that each of you will take a few moments to thank those who defend our freedoms every day.  

Each letter should be heartfelt, handwritten, original, and free of any political statements. The purpose of the letter is to express thanks to the military personnel currently deployed outside the United States. We reserve the right to eliminate those messages that are political in nature and do not reflect a positive message in the spirit of Thanksgiving.

• All letters must be on 8.5” x 11” paper or smaller.
• Do not use glue, tape, staples, cardboard, glitter or otherwise attach anything to the paper.
• NO construction paper.
• Decorate using crayons, markers, pens or pencils.
• Use both sides if you like, but use one page per letter only.
• Do not send greeting cards or photographs.
• Feel free to include your mailing and email address.
• Individual letters should not be sealed in envelopes.
• Do not send anything except letters.

(We cannot accept donations of any kind, and they should not be included or attached to letters.)
