Is everyone aware that four members of Move America Forward are on their way now to Iraq to visit our troops? The flight just left!
Prayers for their trip!
Shhhhhhh!
What’s the problem?
KSFO Morning Show co-host, Melanie Morgan, along with members of Move America Forward, will be delivering the cards to Camp Victory in Baghdad the week of December 17th.
Some of the cards will go on to American Troops in Afghanistan.

The tour was a great success! God Bless them and our Troops!
Here’s an update from Dulles Int’l Airport tonight....

A lot of them were created by groups of schoolchildren.
“Yeah, there was a huge batch of letters addressed to her radio station. A lot of them were created by groups of schoolchildren.”
I stayed after the rally yesterday, and went to the hotel to help them sort and box up the cards for the post office.
Many cards were already sent to Iraq/Afghanistan before they left California. They also mailed more along the way! I could not believe how many we had to pack yesterday! Thousands!
They are a fine group...wonderful and dedicated people, as were the volunteers who stayed to help till evening.
We had so much fun! And yes, we read several cards, many from schoolchildren....heartwarming and so very cute.
I took pictures, as did Mary, their photographer. I’ll post what I have...when I get a chance. I’m going to Florida soon, so I’ll be busy this week. (I’m not good at posting pics...gotta get my daughter to help me.)
Glad the link to my stills got posted.
Whoever did that, THANKS!
