Thank a soldier who is a stranger

I just found this link and I am going to do this I hope that you will all take less than 5 minutes to help me help this station who is sending letters over seas to soldiers who are serving for us on Thanksgiving day! Here is the link and I hope you will jump on board right away. If you are going to do it then please do it soon so that you can get yours in soon. Maybe send a note about yourself. Who knows you may just find a pen pal who you can send care packages to.... I've copied and pasted some of the info on this post but it is alllll written on the link!

LETTER FORMAT
Each letter should be heartfelt, handwritten, original, and free of any political statements.  The purpose of the letter is to express thanks to the military personnel currently deployed outside the United States.  We reserve the right to eliminate those messages that are political in nature and do not reflect a positive message in the spirit of Thanksgiving.  Those letters will be destroyed.
All letters must be on 8.5” x 11” paper or smaller.  Do not use glue, tape, staples, cardboard, glitter or otherwise attach anything to the paper.  Decorate using crayons, pencil, etc.  Use both sides if you like, but use one page per letter only.  Do not send cards or photographs.  Feel free to include your mailing and email address, and you may get a response.  Individual letters should not be sealed in envelopes.
Do not send anything except letters.  We cannot accept donations of any kind, and they should not be included or attached to letters.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Every individual letter is important, but for organizational purposes, please try to submit letters in bulk whenever possible.  Work with your school, croup, sorority/fraternity, office, neighborhood, etc. and send all letters bundled as directed below.
For group submissions, letters should be bundled in groups of 50, 100, or 250 and held together with two rubber bands:  one wrapped lengthwise and the other widthwise.  This will help tremendously with sorting.  The top page in the bundle should indicate clearly how many letters are included.  Do not bundle letters unless they are in groups of 50, 100, or 250.  If you have a partial bundle of less than 50 letters, fasten them together with a paperclip.  The top page in the group should clearly indicate how many letters are included.  If you are submitting 10 or fewer letters, the letters can be folded to fit into a standard business-size envelope.
