SEND FREE POSTCARDS OF SUPPORT TO
U.S. TROOPS
OVERSEAS VIA A XEROX SPONSORED WEB SITE

forwards customized postcards designed by kids to our US Military troops!
Illinois Infantry Battalion served a 12-month tour in Iraq - and says there's
nothing like getting mail from home. "A letter has a sense of warmth and
is more personal than e-mail. With regular mail, it's all yours to keep and
take with you when you're on the move," said Brooks.
You can send your appreciation to U.S. soldiers like Specialist Brooks through
a new Web site sponsored by Xerox Corporation at www.LetsSayThanks.com.
The web site allows you to write a personalized message on postcards - drawn
by kids across the country - which will be printed and sent to deployed forces
in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere.
Following the success of local community card drives in Atlanta and Phoenix,
which delivered thousands of postcards overseas, Xerox created www.LetsSayThanks.com
to give people a way to show their support no matter where
they live.
Visitors simply click on their favorite design, drawn by children ages 6-14,
and write a personal message to a soldier. The colorful postcards are then printed
on a Xerox iGen3® Digital Production Press and mailed in care packages by
the military support organization Give2theTroops.
"We started this effort so specific communities could get even more involved
with supporting their local servicemen and women," said Mike Brannigan,
president of Xerox's United States Solutions Group. "But when we saw the
reaction not only from the public but also from the troops overseas, we moved
to an online effort that will allow people from across the U.S. and around the
world to send postcards to the men and women of the armed forces."
To submit a card, visit www.LetsSayThanks.com,
click on your favorite postcard design and personalize it with your message,
and then hit submit. If you live in the U.S., you can request a copy of the
postcard and message to be delivered to you as well. In addition, postcard designs
will continue to rotate with new artwork, so visit the site for details on how
to submit new drawings for consideration.
