I didn’t get the memo on this but am damn glad I found out about it over at the Mudville Gazette. It seems that 19-25 December is Thank a Soldier Week and the good people over at Townhall.com have made it easy to do just that.
American soldiers are risking their lives all over the globe defending America’s interests and defending the freedoms that many of us take for granted. During Thank a Soldier Week (December 19-25), Townhall.com is encouraging Americans to stop for a moment and give thanks to the men and women risking everything for us.
A few examples of expressions of gratitude…
**I am brazilian and I would like to thank the american soldiers for their huge efforts in Iraq. Keep on doing what you’re doing! Keep on fighting for the freedom.**
**Thank you so much for your defense of our country. I know that you endure many hardships and make many difficult sacrifices, and I want you to know that it IS appreciated here, despite what the “mainstream media” says. It is people like you that make me proud to be an American.**
**You rock. My family and I are behind you 100%, we send care packages, write letters…and vote. We are on your side, and proud to be your countrymen. Hope you come home to a h*** of a party, because you deserve it.**
Have you thanked a Soldier lately? (I can’t wait for Hug a Soldier Week!) Sgt Hook out.
