The Log Home Neighborhood

An online (log home) community for log home enthusiasts.

I posted a 'Salute to Veterans' last week on Veterans Day, and just today I received the following reminder from a fellow veteran and though I'd pass it along.
When doing your Christmas cards this year, take one card and send it to this address. If we pass this on and everyone sends one card, think of how many cards these wonderful special people who have sacrificed so much would get.

A Recovering American Soldier

Thanks Tom - what a great idea. I just copied the info into an e-mail and forwarded it to folks in my address book. Thanks again - Anne

Thanks to both of you, this is a good thing. Anyone in the military will tell you that mail is the strongest link they have to home and reality.... I would imagine a wounded vet would be pleased to know that someone other than their family actually cared enough to send them a card.
