Project: Letters From Home [send a Marine some love]
Thinking Right ^ | 8/07/07 | Jim C

Posted on 08/09/2007 3:39:40 PM PDT by jim9215

I’m working with the 1st Battalion 1st Marine Regiment to get every one of their soldiers a letter of support from home. This is where you, my readers, come in to the picture; I need you to write these men and women, and then spread the word about the project to everyone you can. We need about 1000 emails in order to get one to every Marine. Please put letters from home in the subject line.

Update: The address I’ve set up for project Letters From Home is letters@thinking-right.com


TOPICS: Activism/Chapters; Government; Miscellaneous
KEYWORDS: iraq; letters; marines; military; supportourtroops
I hope everyone will consider taking a couple of minutes to write an email to these Marines.

Oops. Excuse the ping. I realized I could get it by clicking on the top link on the story. Sorry for the confusion.

I also attached a photo of 1st Battalion 1st Marine Regiment WWII Veteran Harry whom I met at a FReep recently to pass along a "semper fi" from him.

BTTT! Hey Jim, if you'd like you can send us some names and addresses for Marines serving in Iraq and Afghanistan and I'll make sure that our team at Move America Forward sends them some of the Beef Jerky & Gatorade, Coffee & Cookies care packages.

Just let me know if you'd like, you can post or FReep Mail me.
