Well, thank you, but no, I didn't design it. I don't remember now where I got it - I think off of a fourth of July graphics site. Yes, please feel free to use it. Thank you for asking. :-)
Here is another one you might like.

FReepers! I need emails to send to our troops with the Christmas presents that are being mailed out this week to the 101st AIRBORNE. We have 200 plus presents, but only about a third of them so far have a personal message to go with them to show the troops that we care about them and are grateful for their sacrifices for our country and for putting their lives on the line for our freedom.
PLEASE FReepMail me or send an email to my personal email (below) a Dear Soldier note for the Holidays! Do it today, so I can print them out and put them in the box tomorrow.
AND if anyone could also contribute toward purchasing one or more scarves, or contribute toward the postage, just FReepmail me for my snail mail address or use www.paypal.com and pay by credit card using my personal email address (below).
So far, ABOUT 1/3 of the 200 scarves are bought or pledged, and I would like to put someone else's name, not mine on at least some of the 130 scarves yet to be adopted and given to a serviceman pulling duty on Christmas at an observation post or wherever they may be now that the 101st Airborne has been moved. Guess where? In fact, the news is reporting our troops are landing near Kandahar now.

Thanks!
My goal is to put one message into each of the individual ziplock bags for each scarf. I would really love to see a broad spectrum of people from everywhere in the nation showing them the broad support and gratitude that exists throughout our wonderful country.
Now I'm conking out.
Little help!
There is still time for people to send emails with a personal message to a soldier. I'm leaving now to sit in front of a local grocery store and try to raise more money, but any and all emails received by 10 p.m. tonight PST, Monday, will be included in the box.
And pledges to buy scarves will be gratefully accepted, too.
Email to private reply FReepmail, or to my personal email:
arthingvold@ocsnet.net
Please include as much personal identification as you feel comfortable doing, so the soldier can contact you if he/she wishes.
