Sometimes, you just get a nice surprise.

This was my feeling on finding out that Xerox was sponsoring a site to allow individuals to send a free, printed postcard to an American soldier stationed overseas, “showing your support and appreciation for their service to our country.”

“Let’s Say Thanks” (www.letssaythanks.com) is the site. There are several designs to choose from, all artwork done by grade school students. Choose your design, enter your name, city, state, and a brief message, then click submit. Nothing to it!

This is a great way for those of us looking for a tangible way to support our troops to put action to our beliefs, and perhaps lift the spirits of someone far from home. I urge everyone to take advantage of this opportunity.
