Watch the two videos. The first deals with the background of
Veterans Day. The second is a music
video about a mother writing letters to her son who has gone off to war.
Ask students if they have family or neighbors
who have been or are in the military.
Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard
Discuss the need for support through letters
and cards.
Ask students to write a letter to a veteran
using the following guidelines. We will
send the letters/cards to “A Million Thanks”.
A Million Thanks Project
We are asking individuals, schools, churches,
businesses, and other organizations to write cards, letters, emails, and prayer
messages of appreciation for our military, past and present. It is our goal to
see that our military – active, reserve, and veterans – receive these messages,
whether they are serving at home, abroad, or are injured in hospitals. To get
started, read the guidelines below, then find a location nearest you on
our Drop-off
Location list so your notes of appreciated can be sent to our
troops.
If there are no drop-off locations near you,
letters can also be sent to:
A Million Thanks
17853 Santiago Blvd. #107-355
Villa Park , CA 92861
17853 Santiago Blvd. #107-355
We appreciate you including a donation of any
size with your letters or through our "Donate" page. A Million Thanks
is only able to offer the program through the generous support of people like
you! Your donation is tax deductible through our IRS approved 501(c)3 tax ID# 26-0361789.
Due to privacy and security, we do not distribute names or addresses of
service members to anyone for any reason. Because we get thousands of letters
each week, we ask that you address the letters generically. We cannot send specifically-addressed
cards or letters.
1.
Do not put letters or cards in individual envelopes or include
additional postage.
2.
Do not use glitter, confetti, or anything that is not securely
attached to the letter or card.
3.
Only include positive messages. Any negative messages will be
discarded.
4.
Be creative! Draw pictures, talk about you, and let them know
their service does not go unnoticed.
5.
Include your address or email address if you wish. Most military
will write back to you!
6.
We ask that you include a message of thanks, so our
service members get a message along with a drawing.
**If any of the above guidelines and
deadlines are not followed, please know your letters may not be sent. Thank you!
