Today is Veteran’s Day. A day of remembrance and appreciation for those who have risked their lives so that we can live freely. Please take a moment to reflect on the freedoms that you enjoy, and explain to your children why it is an important holiday. Simply saying “Thank you” to a veteran or to current military personnel is a great activity you can do with your kids to help them understand the importance of the day.

One simple way to say a simple thank you to military personnel stationed overseas is through the Let’s Say Thanks website. According to the website, the mission of Let's Say Thanks is to provide a way for individuals across the country to recognize U.S. troops stationed overseas. By submitting a message through this site you have the opportunity to send a free personalized postcard greeting to deployed servicemen and women.
The postcards, depicting patriotic scenes and hometown images, were selected from a pool of entries from children across the country.All you have to do is click on your favorite design and either select the message that best expresses your sentiment or draft a personal note. The postcards are then printed on the Xerox iGen3® Digital Production Press and mailed in care packages by military support organization Give2TheTroops®.
