The cards can be handmade or store-bought... for that matter, they don't even have to be cards; a hand -written letter is just as wonderful! Let's all band together and overwhelm our heroes with support! This is a great project for Scout troops, churches, or other organizations to get involved with!
ALL CARDS MUST BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN
JANUARY 30, 2008
Thank you so much for having a heart for our heroes!
