A Thank You card for the Military

mistled · 2003-02-11, 12:41 PM

I go this in an email a minute ago. Thought it was kind of cool. All you have to do is type your name and city in and it gets added to the card. Just something simple. I think the number of participates is up to about 4.2 million.

This is worthwhile and takes only 10 seconds...

Military Thanks!

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 about 1,400,000 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.

'Tis not my military so I don't believe I should sign it.

They could be your adopted military.

(It actually gives you a place to tell what country you are from)

Canada has it's on military....Also, I think my own personal army of Schopenbulbs would like to be thanks aswell. They conquered Zargon IIX recently but n one thanks them....

(BTW, I'm joking. Don't take anyhting personally anyone who would).I'll sign it to thanks some of my PSU and CDL buddies who are in the military though.

I hope there isn't some weird mistake and you get sent as a bomb while a JDAM is sitting at your desk Mr. V.

Maybe there's chocolate inside! Hit it hard!

Is the E-5 that plane with a giant flat circle on top? Can you fire ECMs or EMPs out of it? Or do you just give every one directions.
