ALL FRIENDS & FAMILY: This message has gone around a lot....so much that I am surprised at how few people have cared enough to send a simple little note of THANKS to the men and woman who are currently out there protecting the United States. No matter the politics, we would not have a free country at all without those who stand ready to put their lives on the line for all of us! They are getting very close to doing just that -- maybe we can all find the 30 seconds max to say THANK YOU ------------------- If you are so inclined, visit the Department of Defense web page below and sign a brief message thanking the men and women of the U.S. military services for defending our freedom. The compiled list of names will be sent out to our soldiers at the end of the month. So far, there are only 3,000,000 names. What a shame. There should be hundreds of millions of "thank you's." Pass the word that we can honor and support the defenders of freedom. National Military Appreciation Month http://www.defendamerica.mil/nmam.html takes 10 seconds...literally (please pass it on to your email friends)

I did thank my husband who served in 2 Viet Nam wars and both times he was lucky to come back. I thank all of the service people no matter what they are doing in service. Gloria Wertz of Point Marion, PA You should Never miss a good chance to shut up.
