Thanks to Xerox sending out a Thank You card to our soldiers is simple, fast and free. 
At this time of the year we can take some time out to teach our children about giving thanks and living in gratitude.
The best way of course to teach gratitude is by being a good example of being in a thankful state of mind.
You can gather your children around your computer right now and go to this site:
Let's Say Thanks- In Support of our Troops.
You don't even have to think to do this because it is all done for you. You just have to choose the card and the text out of the ones on the site.
Then you just click send.
Xerox prints out the postcards and then these cards go into the care packages that Givetothetroops® sends to our soldiers.
What a gift Xerox is giving to the troops. I really appreciate a company setting a great example like this.
The cards have all been designed by children and are patriotic. There are many patriotic symbols and messages to choose from.
There is a link on the site where you can read the responses from soldiers around the globe.
For some of these soldiers, your card will be the only mail they get from home.
Here are some of the comments sent back by different servicemen and women:
I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you from myself and my fellow Marines. Your packages and well wishes have lifted our spirits at a time when we are so far away from our friends and family. I wish you could have seen the bright eyed looks and utter excitement from the Marines when opening the boxes. It was a true blessing that you made happen. It makes us proud to know that our fellow Americans care as much as we do. It makes the sacrifices we and our families make worth every minute we spend here. We Americans can stand shoulder to shoulder in unison on one thing - we're all proud of our country and we're all proud of each other. The effort you make on behalf of the troops is just as important as the work we are doing here and around the world.
- A Gunnery Sergeant
As I was leaving an un-eventful Valentine's Day today, one of the mail clerks yelled "Adams!! You have a package!!" A package, I thought to myself. I'm not expecting anything. What could this be? I took the box into my office and closed the door. As I opened the box, a flood of joy came over me as I looked over the cards from you and the young ones, one of my co-workers walked in to see tears rolling down my eyes. I had never received a gift with this much love, packed into one little place from someone that I've never known.
As I thought about what the cards talked about with soldiers giving their lives and privileges up to ensure the freedom of Americans, it was nice to know that someone out there does not take it for granted. I don't know who you are, but you are truly a gift from God. The gift that gives me the drive to serve my country proudly. As you pray that the Lord keeps the soldiers here safe and brings us home, I pray to the Lord that people like you do not die off from this world. Your contributions are nowhere near inadequate. Please never forget what this means to a soldier. Thank you for your love and thoughts.
Please be kind- take a moment out of your day to send a card for free to a soldier today. Please Reblog!

This is a great idea! Thank you so much for sharing. What a great way to let our men and women in the service that we are greatful and appreciate them.
Very nice program, glad to give my thanks to our service-folks. Will reblog and pass it on.
I will wait until my daughter and husband are home and we will do this together. Wonderful of Xerox.
What a great idea Xerox is doing for our service men and women. THanks and I am reblogging as well to get the word out.
Thanks so much for this. Such a Great Idea. My son is currently serving in Afghanistan and I know that he loves it when he has mail during mailcall. I am reposting this in all of my organizations to spread the word. Pay it forward!

Thank you so much you all for reblogging! Wow! Only 6 comments so far but reblogged 6 times already!! Keep it going! THANK YOU! SOOOO MUCH!!!! I don't have any loved one in the service but my dad is a retired Navy Captain so I know a lot about military life. I also know many of my friends and members here on the rain who have sons and daughters serving right now. This is a great way to pay it forward. Thank you all!
Oh I forgot to mention- Xerox Let's Say Thanks site also had a free widget that you can put on your websites to help spread the word! What a great idea!!!
Definitely a wonderful idea. Thanks Xerox for giving us this program. Reblogging this and also checking out the widget now. Our grandson is coming over and we will do this together.

Thanks for sharing Katerina. I just sent a card myself and will be certain to reblog. It is so important to share our appreciation for the hard work and sacrifice members of our military make.
Katerina --- thanks for the reminder --- I normally do this, but hadn't thought about it this year.
Fantastic program. These men and women deserve our thanks for their hard work. Every time I complain about my job I have to stop and think...at least I am not dodging bullets!
Dan- or sleeping in sand and eating food filled with sand!
Hi Katerina...what a great gesture and support from Xerox...Just awesome...talk about paying it forward...Wow
Very nice post. Reblogged as well. And I will send a card today.
Katerina - This is such a wonderful gesture by Xerox. The holidays are the hardest times for our soldiers and sending these cards will really help to show them how much we care.
Thank you!
Wow! This is so easy there is no reason at all not to! I am heading over there shortly!
I did this last year too, and it's a great idea. I'm even more in favor now as my son just entered Boot Camp on Nov. 2nd. He's so new into it, we don't even have an address for him yet!
Thanks for sharing!
Yes, yes yes.....there are many opportunities to give this season and our troops need to be on the top of the list.Thank you for this post....I will go there too!! and am reblogging as we speak :)
I love this! Thanks for making us aware, and I will definitely Re-blog.
Thanks for sharing this great way to help us let our troops know they are appreciated. I've already re-blogged!
Thank you for this post. My son is a U.S. Marine, he and his new bride are stationed in NC so he is in the states but as a Marine Mom my heart goes to the families who are apart, for for our men and women who are serving over in the Middle East . Thanks Karen
I reblogged and added a link to my special troop service. Operation AC.... http://www.operationac.com/ You've inspired me....I'm going to put this out in my blog too.....
Great post I too am a veteran. I will also pass this site onto my database.
What a wonderful idea. They need all the thanks and thought we can give.
Thank you all! 32 reblogs already! Keep spreading the word to say thanks to our troops in a free and easy way! THank you!
I will have my wife look at this with the kids. This is a great thing they are doing.
Nice to see that it is an example of corporate responsibility. I did it already. Great post.
Thanks for reminding us. I sent my card. Our soldiers deserve our thoughts and prayers.
Katerina, I had to do a reblog of this post, and your call for help on the Freddic Mac short sale!
Thanks for the reminder.
Hello Lester & Katerina,
Thank you so much for your post! Great way for us to show our appreciation for our troops. Thank you for the reminder. I will also reblog to help to get the word out. Terrific post!

I feel so bad. I'm just catching up on reading all the featured blogs and just came across this one. I just posted a blog about this, not realizing you had wrote so eloquently about it. I also learned afterwards that Xerox had been doing this for a couple of years and you can send a card monthly.
Great minds think alike.
