4TH
OF JULY CARD DRIVE FOR DEPLOYED TROOPS
The Mission: To
collect at least 5,000 "thank you" cards for U.S. troops stationed all
over the world.
The Reason: Being away from home and living in harsh
conditions with combat & constant danger is difficult ~ our troops need to
know we have not forgotten them!!! Mail from home helps to keep our troops'
morale strong, making a very real difference in their lives. It
keeps them motivated and focused when they know we care about them!
The Address: Send your signed, unsealed thank-you cards and letters to the following
address:
OPERATION:
LOVE FROM HOME
P.O.
Box 1660
Loganville,
Georgia, 30052
ALL CARDS MUST
BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN SATURDAY, JUNE 12, 2010.
The Guidelines:
Ø
The
cards can be handmade or store-bought. This
is a great opportunity to get your Scout troop, school, church and other civic
organizations involved in doing something to show support for our troops.
Ø
Please
do not write the date on your cards
Ø
Please, no glitter on the cards. Because of the intended destination of the
cards, nothing "shiny" should be sent for safety & security reasons.
*IMPORTANT: This is not
a "dating service." Please do
not send suggestive or otherwise inappropriate cards or materials. Please also refrain from making political
statements of any nature. We will be reading and screening every card received to ensure that the
above guidelines are adhered to. Remember: This is strictly to let the troops
know that we love them, we are proud of them and that we HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN them!

Postage and related supplies are extremely expensive and are our biggest expense. A single mailing can run into thousands of dollars. We are very thankful for any donations we receive to help defray these costs - and so are our troops! :) The more we can ship, the more they are benefited. :)
