Memorial Day Weekend Email-a-Thon - Thread I
A FR Forum Event ^ | 05/25/2002 | DoughtyOne

Posted on 05/25/2002 9:34:58 AM PDT by DoughtyOne

Throughout our nation's history good men have fought and died to preserve this nation and it's ideals.  From our founding fathers to today's armed forces, many sacrifices have been made on our behalf.

On Memorial Day weekend it is only fitting that we should take some time to say thank you to those who are preserving our freedoms today, and to remember those who have paid the ultimate price in the past.

At this time I would like to ask you to join us, as we institute our first Email-a-Thon.

Make a pledge here so we'll know how many emails are going out, then click on the provided links and send the emails.

It's another Memorial Day weekend and most of us are looking forward to good times with family and friends.  But some of our fellow countrymen don't have it so good this year.  Once again we have armed forces under fire in foreign lands.

On behalf of VetsCor, A_Navy_Vet has been asking that we take time this weekend to participate in efforts to thank those who have lost loved ones, and express our appreciation for those who are currently serving in our armed forces.  On the USO Canteen threads, Snow Bunny has been providing email links for some time that facilitate the emailing of our service members. This weekend, let's throw our full support behind

their efforts.

This is the first annual Memorial Day Weekend Email-a-Thon.  It won't take that long to click on the links I've provided, and send out some emails. And when all is said and done, thousands of our countrymen will know that folks at home care about them and appreciate what they are doing.

The goal is to see if we can send over 10,000 emails to our fellow countrymen.  I think that's an easy goal if we all chip in.

How many will you agree to send? Can you send 100 or more?  Why not take on this task and help us blow by that 10,000 number.

It'd be great if we could make sure every member of our armed forces overseas, recieved a note of thanks.

A_Navy_vet and Snow Bunny deserve our support, and this weekend is a great time to chip in and help.

If your chapter would like to sponsor this activity, please let me know and I'll add your name to the list.

Thanks to Snow Bunny, A Navy Vet and 68-69TonkinGulfYatchClub for their tireless support of our military.

Thanks in advance, to those of you who decide to pitch in.

An Excellent Resource for the Support of our Military

We have a mystery photo on the Memorial Day Weekend Email-a-Thon thread.

To find out who this is, please click on the graphic.  Note, the graphic will start off blank and fade in and out over and over.  It is just under 1mb in size.

Please do not reveal who it is after you have viewed it. Others will want to find out for themselves.
