15 cards + 1 note = Sharing the Christmas Spirit




I got an email from my mom a few days ago about sending some cards with blessing, thanks, or greetings to service personnel (actual service members, family of a service member, or a veteran. Matt and I, each having family who was in the military at one point in time during our lives and having friends who are serving now, decided to participate. So, we thought we would give other people the opportunity to thank those who are serving our country, their family or a veteran and to sent them a little holiday greeting.

Here's the important information:

Buy 15 cards (max) [We got a pack of $18 @ Kroger's for $5.00]
Address cards to: "Dear Service Member, Family or Veteran"
Sign cards
Write note within [Matt came up with our note...it was great...he wrote 7, I wrote 8 and we signed each others]
Enclose nothing inside, it will be confiscated
Buy one large envelope to mail all the cards in [You might have one laying around the house/job like we did!]
Mail To:
Holiday Mail for Heroes
