Armed Forces Day!

Today is Armed Forces Day. It is a day that was established so that citizens of the United States could come together to thank the service men and women of the armed forces for their dedication and commitment in supporting our country.

There are several websites that you can use to send a message to our troops, just to let them know that you think they're pretty great.

This site is Xerox's Let's Say Thanks website. The URL is http://www.letssaythanks.com/. The website gives us an opportunity to send a free printed postcard to US military personnel stationed overseas showing our support and appreciation for their service to our country.

Several homemade cards scroll by, made by students across the country. Once you select a card, enter your name, hometown, and state. Then you select one of the comments already typed up. Click Submit and you're done. That's all there is to it. You've just sent a card to a military member!

I do it EVERY day.

Another site is the America Supports You site. The URL is http://www.ourmilitary.mil/message.aspx?SectionID=5. You enter your name, hometown, state, and a heartfelt message to a service member. Click submit and your message is on its way to a member of the armed forces.

Take the opportunity today to thank a soldier, an airman, a seaman, or a marine. And pray for them. All of them. And their families. And the people that they're trying to protect. It's the least we can do.

And the most!
