Tune in to Radio Free Republic Thursday, 9 PM Eastern for "On Target".

I want to dedicate this week’s show to our men and women in the military. Christmas is less than a week away. Our military is under fire in Afghanistan, facing threats in numerous hostile locations around the world, and we are on the eve of war with Iraq.

I’d like to have Freepers call in their Christmas wishes to our men and women who are serving the nation in uniform. Let’s show them that we support them and are thinking about them this Christmas season.

Call in your greetings and wishes to family, friends, your old unit, or a general Christmas wish to all those serving. We will post a link to the archive of this show so people can E-mail the link to everyone they know in the service.

I’d like to have every Freeper E-mail the link to everyone they know, with the request that they pass it on to everyone they know, so these messages can get to as many service men and service women as possible by Christmas.

Let’s show the men and women who are serving us that Freepers appreciate their service. Let’s send them our warmest wishes for a merry and safe Christmas.

can you pass this on to your USO list please

"This is from me to those that have not written yet, please write, use it,
tell about your family, your hobbies, how the weather is, what are you planning for the holidays.
Tell a funny thing that happened, send a joke anything. Tell about your pets and kids.
We miss home and it means a lot to hear from everyone."

From a US Marine's e-mail

As Christmas approaches our sons and daughters are away from home serving the nation and protecting us. Let’s show them that Freepers appreciate their service and that we are thinking of them and not just ourselves.

Whether they are stationed State side, or under fire in Afghanistan, they are serving the nation and we should let them know we appreciate their service. Let’s pack the show with messages for these guys! Let’s show just what Free Republic can do and blanket them with Christmas wishes.

USO Canteen FReeper Style ~ Gift Certificates for Military and families ~ December 16 2002

A partnership between the USO, CertifiChecks, and the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) lets every American make a contribution to the morale and well being of military personnel and their families at home and across the globe, especially during the holiday season. Americans can buy Commissary gift certificates for loved ones stationed abroad or send a gift certificate, through the USO, to a member of the armed forces they don't even know, just to show their support and say thanks!




For Americans who would like to do their part to support our troops but don't personally know anyone in the military, CertifiChecks will forward the gift certificates to the USO for distribution to non-specific service members. Through its worldwide military support network, the USO will ensure that the gift certificates are appropriately distributed directly to military personnel. The entire program is operated at a nominal cost to the USO.


Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines can use the gift certificates just like cash to buy groceries and other basic necessities at any commissary worldwide. The gift certificates can be purchased online at www.commissaries.com or www.certifichecks.com, or by calling toll-free 1-877-770-4438. The purchaser pays only a small processing fee to cover the costs of printing, shipping and handling, and the gift certificates are available in denominations as low as $25, making this an affordable way for every American to support our troops and brighten their holidays.

A great way to show our apprecation.

We will post a link to the archive of this show so people can E-mail the link to everyone they know in the service.

I've been told that those deployed on ships can receive email, but may have limited internet access.

[SUSSA]

I've been told there is some limited internet access in most duty stations. The key word being LIMITED. But we should be able to reach lots of service men and women with Christmas wishes.
