Share the Spirit
Townhall.com is sponsoring a great project called Thank a Soldier Week. The "week" begins December 19th, but you can go to the Thank a Soldier site and send your email thank you now.
Drew Bond was recently at the Country Music Awards collecting thank you's from country music artists. My favorite of the video clips was from George Strait telling the troops "Merry Christmas." You can view the clips at the Thank a Soldier site. Although the name is "Thank a Soldier," the thank you extends to all members of the armed forces. It is a great idea. Please add your thank you today.
Recently I pointed readers to USO's Operation Phone Home which is working on getting calling cards for servicemen and women overseas. A reader sent me the link to Subscriptions for Soldiers , which matches soldiers to those interested in donating gift subscriptions of participating magazines for them. You can send an AAFES gift certificate to those in the service at this site.
America Supports You links to "over 150 non-profit organizations dedicated to helping our troops and their families." It is an amazing resource.
As you can see from the sampling above, there are many really good programs out there matching those in the armed forces with those who want to do something to show them how much they are appreciated. Americans are good and generous people and the outpouring of support for those defending our freedom is truly inspiring.

Update: Thanks to Michelle Malkin for linking. Please click here and check out some of the other recent posts here. A couple of them contain links to some really funny stuff. If you like what you see here, please consider voting for this site in the 2005 Weblog Awards.
Many thanks and appreciation goes out to those that serve our Country.
