I'm going to post this here -- and on another post so that everyone sees it -- including those that don't go to something named "Happy Thanksgiving" 'cause that holiday is now over.
Freud and Ray Buck helped come up with the idea of sending greeting cards to American servicemen for the coming holidays. Since many of us (me included) have seen this type of thing and later discovered it was a "scam" or a "non-idea" because the address was wrong or the intended recipient couldn't handle the influx of greetings -- Ray checked out this one and it's legit. There's one going around that invites cards to be sent to Walter Reed Army Hospital -- and that one is
not valid. If you see one and you're not sure about it -- save your stamps and first go to
www.snopes.com or one of the other fact-checking sites and see if it's on the level. Then - if you'd be interested in sending cards to soldiers and sailors and all/any servicepeople -- follow this link to the
American Red Cross program. Note that you've only got a little more than a week -- maybe less if you're a few days away by mail -- to get the cards to the Red Cross program. Get your pen and paper and get going!
