Let's Say THANKS to our TRROPS!
 

I have a feeling that a majority of this board knows someone in the military or that is stationed overseas. The holidays are right around the corner and there are roughly 375,000 American soldiers stationed somewhere overseas.

A radio station in the Atlanta area is trying to get a letter into each of their hands for Thanksgiving. This is where YOU come in! They need your help! 375,000 is a LOTTT of letters. BUT it can be done!

Please please go to THIS WEBSITE for the information on this amazing project. Get your firends and family involved!!

Here's a breakdown of the major points:

-One page front and back..make it original! Don't copy one generic letter 50 times!

-Do not use glue, tape, staples, cardboard, glitter or otherwise attach anything to the paper. Decorate using crayons, pencil, etc. Use both side if you like, but use one page per letter only.

-NO political statements, PLEASE

-Now, I know YTer's have HUGE HUGE hearts, but they are asking that you DO NOT add anything to your letter (phone cards, gum, etc). JUST THE LETTER PLEASE!

We may not all agree on why they are overseas, but one thing is for sure. THEY DESERVE THIS!

They haven't announced where to mail everything to, so if you are interedted..PM ME and I will send you my address. I will collect all letters and send them to the radio station when they announce the address to mail it to.

Now..you have ONE WHOLE WEEK to send them to me. BUT I need them by next Friday October 19! I have to send them in by October 26th.

It will only take a few minutes out of your day to sit down and write a letter but it will MEAN SO MUCH to OUR trops!! I know YT will pull together for this! You guys are GREAT with things like this!

Please do not hesitate to PM me if you have any questions!

Thanks everyone and GET TO WRITING! :D :D

Your a VERY brave person to be giving your address out to so many people you don't even know. I hope you have thought long and hard about this. We have already seen a few very questionable people on here and I'm sure many more are just lurking. I have a son overseas, and yes the Holidays will be hard on him as well, but they do have each other over there as well.

I will actually be giving out my work address. Very big building with lots of security..so I think Ill be ok. But thanks for thinking about me :)

They do have each other, like you said, but the reminder of home with be a HUGE comfort to them.

Guys, please take some time out of your day and write a letter for our troops!!

I'd like to send a letter, so I'll pm you. Thanks for doing this.

Wow, I am active duty military and I think this is GREAT! It is so very sweet of you to be putting this up!

yeah !!! my husband is in iraq thank you so much for this they really do appreciate everything we do for them

I have a brother and a brother-in-law in the military. I thank our troops and appreciate them every single day, and I pray for their families.

Thanks guys! Now..GET TO WRITIN! haha :)

Sidenote- I so spelled TROOPS wrong in the title!

this is a wonderful idea. My son is somewhere out in the Mediterranean, not sure where. He can't tell me for security reasons. We email back and forth. They soooo look forward to hearing from home. The packages and letters they receive are the highlight of their day. My son says it's like Christmas when they get something from home. I am very proud of all the men and women who put their lives on the line every day for us. God Bless Them All!!

Hey guys! I just wanted to let yall know that they finally gave out an address. So you can send all of your letters to:

The Bert Show's Big Thank You
3070 Windward Plaza, Suite F 350
Alpharetta, GA 30005

What a wonderful thing you are doing. My best friends son is in Iraq now and my son will be heading over in March. Thank you for bringing this to everyones attention and for supporting our troops. May God bless each and every one of them.:love:

God Bless our Troops!!!
 

God Bless you for this!! My son is a Marine and i know he really appreciated all the letters that came in while he was in Iraq. TG he is home now but there are still lots of troops out there that would love some mail!! :usaheart:
Thanks so much for posting this!!
XOXOXO
Linda & PAK

That's a major relief!! WEW! Thank you for tell me that. Yes, it's difficult for them and they do appreciate cards and kind words especially during the Holidays. I'm so happy you are helping out in this. Warm hugs to you!

Even better..they finally gave out the address to mail letters to, so I posted that on this thread. That way people have longer to mail their letters and I don't need to be the middle man in it all :)

GUYS- To clear up any confusion-- that address is the one straight from the radio station's website. You can mail your letters straight there. They must be RECEIVED by October 26 so keep that in mind!

If you think that ONE letter wont help..IT WILL! This is an amazing project, but it wont happen without everyone writing their letters!! Thanks again!

My Son is a Marine also, where is your son stationed? Nick is in Twentynine Palms, CA.
