With soldiers stationed all over the world – and some of them in war zones, we’re extremely proud of the men and women who sacrifice so much for our country. That’s why we’d like to start a monthly spotlight on one of our customers or their family members who are in the military. If you have a loved one in the military, we’d like to recognize them in our next newsletter. Email our newsletter editor and we’ll include a special thanks to your loved one in our next newsletter.

Give A Soldier A Cell Phone

This gift is both green and good. With soldiers stationed across the world, some in war zones, you can help the environment and help a solider all at the same time. Send them a used cell phone, they’ll sell it to a recycler and use the proceeds to buy a prepaid calling card for a soldier. Find it here at Cell Phones For Soldiers.

Beyond being a great gift, there’s a great story behind this idea.  The foundation was started by two teenagers with $21 of their own money.  Since then, they’ve raised over $2,000,000 and distributed over 500,000 calling cards to soldiers.

Send Our Troops A Thank You Card

Xerox is doing something we really admire. If you go to www.LetsSayThanks.com Xerox gives you an opportunity to pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and send it to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. You don’t get to pick specifically who gets the card, but it goes to a member of the armed services.

How amazing would it be if we could get everyone that receives this newsletter to send one! It’s absolutely free and only takes a few moments.

Thanks for taking the time to support our military!
