<p>Thought you all might like to send some support to our troops over the holidays. There are several ways to do this, and I’ve listed them below.</p>

<li><p>E-cards to send (or download if you like). To send a card and say thank you go to: [Let’s</a> Say Thanks](<a href=“http://www.letssaythanks.com/Home1280.html]Let’s”>http://www.letssaythanks.com/Home1280.html)</p></li>
<li><p>Send Christmas Cards to wounded Soldiers. </p></li>
</ol>

<p>Leave the card envelope unsealed so they can be screened. You can put the card and unsealed envelope in a larger envelope for mailing.</p>

<p>Send to:
American Red Cross
c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C. 20307-5001
also
American Red Cross
c/o Bethesda Naval Hospital
8901 Wisconsin Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C. 20814</p>

<li> Text a Thanksgiving Message:</li>
</ol>

<p>For those seeking a quick way to show appreciation to troops serving far from home this holiday season, look no further than “Giving Thanks,” a new initiative from the Defense Department’s America Supports You program.</p>

<p>Between 6 a.m. Nov. 17 and midnight Nov. 22, people wishing to express gratitude to the troops for their service can text a brief one- or two-line message to 89279. Each text message sent will receive a response from an active-duty servicemember.</p>
