Send Cards!

Here's an idea for care packages from Anita Ramos, 1/7 Marine Mom. She knows that many of our troops have limited or no access to a PX, or any way to purchase Christmas cards for their friends and family. So, she's sending a few boxes of cards for her son and his friends so they can mail holiday greetings to their friends and families. It's a great idea - perhaps some of the rest of you would like to send a supply as well. No stamps are necessary since our troops have free franking privileges while deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I sent Xmas cards to my son, but I went ahead & addressed most of them for him(w/his return address also on it), so all he has to do is write alittle note or just sign it. Also sent a few no addressed in case I forgot someone.

Hey, the dollar store has boxes of Christmas and Holiday cards for only $1.00, what a great idea to send them to our troops. And, remember postage is free for them.
