Think "Thanks" this Thanksgiving

With Halloween behind us we all start counting the days until Thanksgiving and the paid day off from work. Thanksgiving as we all know, and as the name of the holiday accurately conveys, is a time for giving thanks for all of our blessings.

I can't think of anything to be more thankful for, than the fact that I am blessed to live in America - land of the free and the brave. I consider myself "free" and want to take a blog minute to say "thank you" to all the brave military men and women sacrificing daily for my freedom.

If you feel the same I found a great way to send out a very personal thank you to our service men and women. It's called the Let's Say Thanks organization.

The mission of Let's Say Thanks is to provide a way for individuals across the country to recognize U.S. troops stationed overseas. By submitting a message through their site you have the opportunity to send a free personalized postcard greeting to deployed servicemen and women. The postcards, depicting patriotic scenes and hometown images, were selected from a pool of entries from children across the country.

All you have to do is click on your favorite design and either select the message that best expresses your sentiment or draft a personal note. The Chief Show Officer recommends a personalized message - If Xerox prints and mails it, the least you can do is write a personal message. The postcards are then printed on the Xerox iGen3® Digital Production Press (Don't begrudge Xerox their plug) and mailed in care packages by military support organization Give2TheTroops®.

So. You're sitting at your computer. Here is the link. I know you've got lots to be thankful for. Tell someone thanks.

Regards,
Chief Show Officer

Support Our Troops

Anyone lucky enough to be living in this great land of America owes a debt of gratitude to the men and women of our armed forces (past and present) who sacrifice daily to keep us safe.

Now before you launch into the political correctness of this war or that conflict, let me just say "I Do Not Care". This is about people, not politics.

The fact of the matter is that there are thousands of underpaid, overworked soldiers who risk their lives daily so we can sleep soundly in our clean, soft beds in 72 degree climate controlled comfort (Feeling guilty yet?)

One of the soldiers who served proudly is William "Brice" King of Danville, Virginia. Having experienced the lack of basic amenities first hand, upon moving from active military to reserve status, he decided to do what he could to make life a little better for those remaining on the front lines.

Brice has just founded CharityTroops.org who's goal is simple yet vital; Providing our soldiers with care packages and or letters to make the rigors of military service a bit easier to tolerate.

Take a minute to drop by Charitytroops.org and see what it's all about and how you can do your part to support our troops.

What are YOUR chances of being shot today?

Probability of me being shot today: Zero.

I for one am thankful that our military men and women are willing to do what they do. God bless them all.

Read my Thanksgiving post from last year and to do a little something to support our troops.
