Thank and File

LetsSayThanks.com

In college, you were happy just to pass. At work, you do just enough to stay off the boss man’s radar.

Some call it lazy. You call it minimalism.

But surely you’ll want to raise a finger to thank our troops.

Go to LetsSayThanks.com and choose from 78 different illustrated postcards, each one hand-drawn by a kid age 3 to 15. Then pick one of ten thank-you messages or type your own sentiments. Xerox will print your card and get it to a U.S. soldier abroad in a care package arranged by military support org Give2TheTroops.

It’s free and takes just a few seconds — though it took us longer, because we couldn’t decide between Noel’s cat under the flag and Adrienne’s We Heart Our Troops designs. And it doesn’t matter whether you’re for or against the war.

Our armed forces need to know you’re behind them.

It’s the least you could do.
