Sat down with the kids to write postcards to the soldiers through www.LetsSayThanks.com. It is fascinating to see what they write & an interesting conversation starter to hear first-hand their thoughts on what the war is all about, what freedom means, etc.
My boys wrote the following (with spelling help from their big sister):
I KNOW ITS HARD KEEPING SAFE, BUT WHEN YOU COME BACK YOU WILL REALIZE HOW MUCH WORK YOU DID.

HELLO SOLDIERS! THANK YOU FOR PROTECTING OUR COUNTRY. BE SAFE! WE WANT YOU TO BE SAFE. THANKS FOR BEING BRAVE. I REALLY, REALLY LIKE THAT.
-- K.J (age 6)
The organization was kind enough to ask me to contribute a card, which they plan to feature when they next update the site. Here's hoping you & your family will also take a few minutes to send a quick & well-deserved thanks. It's literally three clicks. Send one before you send your next email ...
