Done. And I had to quit reading the replies from the troops so I didn't start crying at work.
Here are a few I just copied and pasted for ya'll: "Let's Say Thanks, I wanted to contact you to say thanks for this outstanding effort to make our Military personnel feel a touch of home wherever they are. I have been deployed several times to various parts of the world. No matter what is going on around us, when we get encouraging words from home it seems to make a difference that is beyond description. Something as simple as words. Something as common as a crayon drawing. Something as appreciative as Let's Say Thanks. These things can mean the world when you are a world away. - A Soldier Thank you for sending the postcards to our unit! While soldiers routinely grab all the snacks, toiletries, magazines and books out of care packages, it is the letters, cards and postcards with heartfelt messages that mean the most and truly remind us that the folks back home care and appreciate what we do. Thank you for showing that support. Have a great week and keep up the good work. - A member of the Military Police To all who have supported us, I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you from myself and my fellow Marines. Your packages and well wishes have lifted our spirits at a time when we are so far away from our friends and family. I wish you could have seen the bright eyed looks and utter excitement from the Marines when opening the boxes. It was a true blessing that you made happen. It makes us proud to know that our fellow Americans care as much as we do. It makes the sacrifices we and our families make worth every minute we spend here. We Americans can stand shoulder to shoulder in unison on one thing - we're all proud of our country and we're all proud of each other. The effort you make on behalf of the troops is just as important as the work we are doing here and around the world. - A Gunnery Sergeant" ~Amy |

I've done this the last couple of years during Christmas. It's really easy and I love the idea. I love all the cards the kids did. Seriously, 98% of those kids did better than I would have. I can't draw to save my life, not an artistic bone in my body.
