"Lets Say Thanks" to Our Military Personnel Overseas

Nov. 15, 2007
Categorized in: Inspirational Messages

With the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays approaching soon, it's so important to say thanks to the men and women who serve in various branches of our military overseas and far way from their own families. There is a wonderful free website known as http://www.LetsSayThanks.Com where in less than a minute you can send a free printed postcard to a U.S. military person stationed overseas with a personalized message and your name and hometown. Also at this website, you can read many really touching responses from sailors and soldiers who have received these cards and gift packages similar to the one listed below:

As I was leaving an un-eventful Valentine's Day today, one of the mail clerks yelled "Adams!! You have a package!!" A package, I thought to myself. I'm not expecting anything. What could this be? I took the box into my office and closed the door. As I opened the box, a flood of joy came over me as I looked over the cards from you and the young ones, one of my co-workers walked in to see tears rolling down my eyes. I had never received a gift with this much love, packed into one little place from someone that I've never known.

As I thought about what the cards talked about with soldiers giving their lives and privileges up to ensure the freedom of Americans, it was nice to know that someone out there does not take it for granted. I don't know who you are, but you are truly a gift from God. The gift that gives me the drive to serve my country proudly. As you pray that the Lord keeps the soldiers here safe and brings us home, I pray to the Lord that people like you do not die off from this world. Your contributions are nowhere near inadequate. Please never forget what this means to a soldier. Thank you for your love and thoughts.

Take a moment, go to this above website, and bring a smile to one of our overseas heroes.
