Every year I usually try and find some free charity or organization to support, usually around the holidays because that's when they are usually the most abundant.
This year's random organization was brought to me randomly by Facebook and it's right up my alley in terms of personal interest. I am a military fanatic, I support our troops immensely and try and show my support in many ways as possible-- even if it means buying shittier chewing gum because it donates money to various scattered veteran's organizations.
Well this one is completely free and takes less than a minute: It's sponsored by Xerox, which everyone recognizes (hopefully) with relation to copiers and copying and other office services.
Let'sSayThanks explains itself more on the website, but for anyone who needs more convincing it is described on the official Facebook Group as:
XEROX IS DOING SOMETHING COOL
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 overseas. 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!
Just in case anyone missed the site it's : http://www.letssaythanks.com/Home1280.html
For anyone who's a stickler for validity before doing anything here are some links that have investigated it to prove it's a real organization:

Really, all it takes is a minute if you choose the cookie-cutter response option and maybe two minutes tops if you want to give your own reply to a serviceman or woman.
