As
our troops serve the US, thousands students across the United States
joined in a project to write postcards to our troops stationed all
over the world.
This
dream of this project began after a conversation with a friend who
had been a soldier at one time and he commented on how isolated
he had felt and how grateful he had been to receive a piece of mail.
Even if he didn't know who it was from, it was a connection to home.
It offered comfort, encouragement, and an understanding that the
person writing the letter did believe in this solider and appreciated
his hard work.
This
project has concluded for the 2005/2006 school year. However, you
are still encouraged to have your students write letter of support.
You can follow the link to the address
page to see the name of a wonderful company who will take your postcards
and package them for the troops.
If
you would like to be notified when this project begins again in
Fall of 2006, please click HERE.
God
bless our soldiers and God bless the U.S.A.
