Can you help me with a
SERVICE PROJECT FOR OUR TROOPS???
My son is a MARINE and is currently deployed to Afghanistan. My support group is trying to collect as many cards of support as we can to send to all of the 3rd Battalion 2nd Marines division. Many of these men and women receive nothing from back home and we would like to thank all of them for fighting for freedom. As homeschoolers, you and I know how important our freedom is here in this country.
Here's what I am looking for:
ASK all of your friends, family, co-workers, classmates, teammates, etc., if they would write out a card (or two) of support to a MARINE thanking them for their sacrifice and for protecting our country. The greeting should be "TO A MARINE" or "DEAR MARINE". Let them know that MARINES are NOT addressed as soldiers. Also, please ask that political views toward the war be set aside in what is written in these cards. They are meant to uplift our troops and make their time away from family and friends a little brighter.
WRITE a few cards yourself and have your children join you! Cards can be store bought or homemade. All will be greatly appreciated by me and by the MARINE who receives it.
COLLECT as many cards as you can and bulk mail them to me by May 1, 2011:

QUESTIONS about this SERVICE PROJECT can be sent to maureen@agenerationinneed.com.
The goal is to collect 1000+ cards to bless some of our MARINES serving overseas.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
