Xerox is sponsoring a really cool thing: Let’s Say Thanks. At the site, you choose a free thank-you card (designs drawn by American children), and Xerox will print and send it to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other overseas posts. You can’t choose who receives your thank-you, but it will go to a member of the armed services stationed overseas.

Xerox says they will continue doing this as long as there’s a need. Please take a moment and send a soldier or sailor your personal thanks. It’s entirely free.

UPDATE: Also just found out that the US Postal Service free Priority Mail shipping supplies for customers sending packages to U.S. military personnel overseas. To obtain a free kit of shipping supplies, simply call the USPS’ packing supplies order line at 1-800-610-8734, select option #1 (”Express Mail, Priority Mail or Global Express Guaranteed products”), and ask a customer service agent for CAREKIT04 (or a “military kit”). You need supply only your name, address, and phone number, and they’ll get a kit off to you that should arrive within 7-10 days. (This offer includes only packing materials — senders who use these materials still have to pay the requisite postage themselves.) More info on the USPS supporting our troops is available here.
