Greetings for Our Troops
Posted by Randy | December 21, 2009

For our men and women in uniform, the sheer difficulty of separation is often felt the hardest during the holidays. This Christmas for each soldier who is serving abroad, there is a family at home with an empty seat at the dinner table; a father, a mother, a son, a daughter – half way around the world not only missing their family, but being missed.

While nothing can fill the void of being separated from family, technology does provide us as American citizens a unique opportunity to share our gratitude with those who are serving overseas.

The Stars and Stripes Holiday Message program allows individuals from across the country to login and send an email message directly to our troops stationed overseas. Some of the messages may be printed for our troops in the U.S. military newspaper, Stars and Stripes. Click the photo below to send an email message now.


These individuals deserve more gratitude than we can give. This Christmas season, we thank the members of our Armed Forces for choosing service over self and the great blessing that they protect – freedom.

    The separation between family members is always extremely hard over the holidays. My heart goes out to those families that will go through this pain. Lauren White Fan of www.abasketcase.com (Corporate Gift Baskets)
