Every year I post about the Christmas Card program, which is NOT run or accepted by the Walter Reed Medical Center.

Here is a copy of an e-mail I received from the CORRECT organization. I hope that all will find the time to send a card and a little note of thanks and well wishes to those who are serving our country! Please pass this info on to all of your friends and relatives. You can link to this page if you want to forward an e-mail to everyone. The link is:

Thanks, and have a blessed Christmas,

Windy.

 

Hi there,

I hope you are doing well.  I am working with Pitney Bowes and wanted to reach out to you regarding our 2009 “Holiday Mail for Heroes” campaign with the Red Cross.  We certainly appreciated your post last year about the project, and want to thank you again for helping us touch so many service members, family members and veterans in 2008.

This year, the goal of the campaign remains the same:  to recruit Americans to send holiday cards with their messages of thanks and cheer to service members, veterans and their families.  It is our hope once again that, through this campaign, American service men and women in the U.S. and around the world will receive a much needed touch of home during this holiday season. 

This year, information about the Holiday Mail for Heroes campaign can be found at

http://www.redcross.org/holidaymail.  

The site includes information about what types of cards can be sent, how cards should be addressed, and also provides further information regarding how you can get involved.  I wanted to reach out to you this Veterans’ Day to see if you would be willing to spread the word about the campaign again this year through your blog, helping us send a touch of home to our U.S. Armed Forces, veterans and their families when they need it most.

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions.  I hope to hear from you soon.

Best Regards,
