You're Invited - Soldier Love Message Campaign

Since tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, I’m thinking we should send our soldiers some love. I’ve started my own personal Soldier Love Message Campaign and invite you to join me at soldiersvoice.wordpress.com.

All you need to do is post a comment under the "Send Our Soldiers Some Love" post. Wish them a happy Valentine’s Day. Tell them that you care and appreciate all they are risking. Post a Valentine’s Day poem. Share a funny story that will make them laugh. Let them know they are in your thoughts and prayers. Write whatever you want to say, whether it is a short message or a long letter.

Thank you in advance for helping bring some love to the troops. You have no idea how much this simple act can lift their spirits. And, if you could, invite your friends and family to stop by too. Our troops need all the love they can get, so let us shower them with love messages!

May the love you share today be returned to you ten-fold. Happy Valentine’s Day!

    Very worthwhile effort. We did something similar in sending christmas cards from our 3 year old to all of the wounded at Walter Reed and some other Army hospitals. Even got a few return letters from some of the guys.

    Thanks kdawg68! Kudos to you for the card campaign ;-) You know it takes so little to make a huge difference for these guys, but it seems that fewer people are supporting the troops. I was talking to a soldier the other day and he said in the 3 years he's been fighting the war on terror, he has received 2 letters from home and 1 care package. That is so sad!

    It's easy to get caught up in our daily lives and forget these kids are over there dealing with all kinds of horrible things. They REALLY needs us, so I'm hoping to generate some interest in this campaign.

    It doesn't take any longer than making a comment in one of the BC discussions and it doesn't cost a dime, so come on folks, let's send the love ;-)
