http://www.gxonline.com/gxintelnews?id=3561611/15/06—Thousands of men and women serving in the Armed Forces will be receiving some extra cheer during this upcoming holiday season, thanks to millions of people across the U.S. who have participated in Xerox's "Let's Say Thanks" postcard program.
"Let's Say Thanks"—a free Web site launched June 26 at www.LetsSayThanks.com—helps people express their gratitude to troops serving overseas through a personalized postcard. People can choose a postcard designed by children from across the U.S., choose a message or write their own, and Xerox takes care of the rest. The card is printed on a Xerox iGen3 Digital Production Press and shipped to nonprofit organization Give2TheTroops®, which then includes the cards in care packages they send overseas.
By early November 2006, 5 million people from all 50 U.S. states have logged on to the site to personalize colorful postcards of thanks—everyday Americans, military families and even celebrities such as Whoopi Goldberg and American Idol Ace Young.
