Xerox is doing something cool - with your help
If you go to this web site, www.LetsSayThanks.com you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq . You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed services.
How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!! It is FREE and it only takes a second.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these? Whether you are for or against the war, our soldiers over there need to know we are behind them.
This takes just 10 seconds and it's a wonderful way to say thank you. Please take the time and please take the time to pass it on for others to do. We can never say enough thank you's.
Thanks for taking to time to support our military!

Mesothelioma
According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, there are currently 25 million living individuals who have served in the United States' armed forces. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions of these living veterans were exposed to toxic asbestos-containing materials during military service. According to a revealing statistic, more than 30 percent of Americans beset with a terrible disease called mesothelioma were exposed to asbestos during military service. What is mesothelioma? It is a rapacious cancer that attacks the internal lining of the lungs, abdomen, and heart.
Widely used by every military branch, asbestos was highly regarded for its heat resistance and fireproofing capabilities. In fact, asbestos was so valued that the military even mandated widespread usage before eventually phasing out the material in the 1970s.
Most military divisions utilized the caustic substance mainly for insulation purposes, but more than 300 products containing asbestos were used by the military, primarily by the Navy from the 1930s through the 1970s. Every ship and shipyard built by the Navy before the mid-70s was fitted with numerous asbestos-containing materials.
Asbestos.com offers information on mesothelioma & veterans, as well as a complete list of occupations, ships, and shipyards that could have put our Veterans at risk for developing a mesothelioma disease. Additionally their Veterans Assistance Department offers extensive experience in filing VA claims and can help any veteran coping with mesothelioma receive benefits from the VA system.

Troops Need You, where you can become a Battle Buddy by directly supporting a deployed unit or healing warrior here at home.
So far, nearly 20,000 Americans have helped us continue the uniquely American wartime tradition of mobilizing citizens in direct support of troops in combat. This is our history, from merchants supplying General Washington’s army during the Revolutionary War to the war bond drives of World War II. Now, it is our time to mobilize and help our troops accomplish their mission–whether deployed on the war front overseas or healing on the home front.
What is a Battle Buddy?
In the military, a Battle Buddy is your battlefield partner with whom you accomplish a common mission. Battle Buddies stand ready to assist one another.
Troops Need You enables everyday Americans to become Battle Buddies for troops who request mission-essential supplies–whether deployed on the war front or healing on the home front.
You can support our troops by becoming a Battle Buddy that sponsors needed supplies.
Go to http://troopsneedyou.com/ and look at the list of profiles of troops who need supplies for their mission–whether they’re deployed to the war front or healing here on the home front.
Read their stories, consider making a donation and then–most importantly–email the page link to your family and friends to let them know how they can become a Battle Buddy too!

"This is a book I simply could not put down. I’ve read very few books about war, or anything else, for that matter, that have moved me quite like this one. It’s so smart, so personal, so touching, and so very well written. . . .(Minefields of the Heart) is political, philosophical, brutally honest, and ultimately hopeful. And to its credit, it is equal parts cerebral and emotional, reflecting both the journalist and mother in Diaz."
– Jamie Reno, Home Post on www.kpbs.org, website of San Diego’s public radio station
"Sue Diaz has managed to make her family’s story both unique and universal. Her work is a window into the ordeal that every service member’s loved ones endure, with every deployment, and for that, she has done us a great service by making their sacrifices palpable."
- from the foreword by Jim Frederick, author of Black Hearts: One Platoon’s Descent into Madness in Iraq’s Triangle of Death
"It is a book to break your heart, and to heal it."

Grateful Nation Party Supplies
The first place to go after hearing "I AM COMING HOME"
While you are dreaming of that first hug upon their return, why not start planning a truly special "Welcome Home Party?"
Our Philosophy
We honor the brave men and women of the United States Military who deploy with their units all over the world so that America can remain safe and free. Each and every one of them deserve our utmost respect, and it is OUR duty to welcome them home to a truly grateful nation.
Three Reasons To Buy From Us
One...
There are plenty of patriotic-themed party supplies on the market today, but only our EXCLUSIVE design supports the joyous return of our military. Deployments require much sacrifice, whether in a war zone or not, so why not let your soldier, airman, sailor, coastie, marine or guardsman know how much their service is appreciated? Our products send the message loud and clear!
Two...
One of our priorities is to support American businesses as well as our military. That is why, even if it costs a little more, we can proudly say "All of our high quality products are made right here in the USA!"
and Three...
Though we feel a Welcome Home Party is an important way to show our support, it is equally important to show our gratitude during deployment. This is why we have partnered with Operation Gratitude. A portion of every sale will be donated to this noble organization. Operation Gratitude is a non-profit organization that sends care packages to service members deployed in hostile regions. Since its’ inception in 2003, Operation Gratitude has shipped more than 520,000 care packages to American Military deployed overseas!
Grateful Nation Party Supplies is owned and operated by a Member of the Blue Star Mother of America, Inc.
