Postards to Iraq: No postage necessary

We get letters and calls all the time here at the paper asking for ideas about how students and community members can send their wishes to U.S. troops overseas.
Many times it’s frustrating because, unless you know a service member, you must coordinate through a larger effort to submit even cards and letters. The military can’t give out individual names and addresses for safety reasons.
But now, through XEROX, there’s a way you can send as many well wishes as you want.
Here’s the link: Let’s Say Thanks
XEROX and the “Let’s Say Thanks” project allow visitors to the site to pick artwork created by children to be used on a personalized postcard.
You can use one of the pre-written greetings on the site, or there’s and option to write whatever you wish.
Xerox then prints the cards out and sends them overseas.
You can send as many as you like and even see a few “thank yous” posted from our troops.
It’s easy. Go send some holiday cheer!
