Send a thank you card!

If you go to this website - http://www.letssaythanks.com/ , you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and send it to a soldier currently serving over in Iraq. You can't choose anyone in particular to receive it, but the card will go to a member of the armed forces. Wouldn't it be awesome to put a smile on a soldier's face? And the best part of it all - it is free!

Send yours today.
