This Memorial Day, take the time to say thank you to our soldiers, especially the ones who are currently fighting in the war and are unable to be home with their friends, families, and loved ones.
It’s amazing how one little letter can brighten someone’s day. All it takes is a few minutes to tell a soldier “thank you” and “we appreciate all you do or have already done for our country.”
Even though it’s Memorial Day, we should all make an effort to say thank you to our armed forces more than once or twice a year. The website, amillionthanks.org, aims to do just that. “A Million Thanks is a year-round campaign to show our appreciation for our U.S. Military Men and Women, past and present, for their sacrifices, dedication, and service to our country through our letters, emails, cards, and prayers.”

The website states: “We are asking individuals, schools, churches, businesses, and other organizations to write cards, letters, emails, and prayer messages of appreciation for our military, past and present. It is our goal to see that our military – active, reserve, and veterans – receive these messages, whether they are serving at home, abroad, or are injured in hospitals.”
Thus far, approximately 5,125,000 letters have been delivered.
If you are interested in participating this Memorial Day or any day after-the-fact, visit amillionthanks.org to find out how to get the process started. While there, you can also read some of the responses from military personnel thanking everyone for their kind words and support.
