Let’s help her reach her goal…what a cute idea and since so many people want to do something to show appreciation to the troops, go have a look…
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 13 /U.S. Newswire/ — Shauna Fleming, 16, was recently challenged by Ret General Richard B. Myers, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to collect another million thank you letters for U.S. military members serving around the world. With over 1.6 million letters, notes and emails already collected and distributed to members of the U.S. Armed Forces through her “A Million Thanks.org” campaign, Fleming’s new goal is to collect a million Valentine cards and messages in the next 30 days. Be reaching her goal, Fleming will have symbolically given a thank you to every man and woman actively serving in the U.S. military including Reservists.
Did you know:
Fleming’s “A Million Thanks” was the first organization to join “America Supports You,” a Department of Defense outreach program designed to recognize citizens’ support for the U.S. military and to communicate that support to members of our Armed Forces and their families at home and abroad. Since the launch of “America Supports You,” thousands of citizens, businesses, and community groups — from local schools and establishments to nationally-known corporations and organizations — are undertaking projects to support the military.
