Project: "Letters from Home"
Thinking Right ^ | 8/24/07 | Jim C

For those of you joining the party late, about two weeks ago I started a project intented to get an encouraging letter of support into the hands of every Marine and Sailor in the 1st battalion 1st Marine regiment. Along the way I’ve gotten a lot of help from other bloggers like Captain Ed, Hugh, Lex, Blackfive, my fellow RMA members, Jenn, and Lashawn to name a few. Groups such as Soldiers Angels have helped out as well.I just wanted to take a quick second and let everyone know how the project is going. I have officially broken the 300 mark, and I’m well on my way to 400 emails. Thank you again for everything you all have done to make this a success.

What can you do to help? Well, if you haven’t written a letter yet, fire off a generalized letter of support to letters@thinking-right.com. If you have a blog, put up a post about the project. If you don’t, send an email to your friends and family and tell them about the project.

I hope to send the first batch of 500 emails out sometime next week… if we can hit 500 by then.
