I'm pleased to announce we're rolling out a giant new initiative as part of the "Fight for Victory Tour" that will honor those who have been wounded in service to this nation. Marine Mom Deborah Johns (who is traveling on Move America Forward's "Fight for Victory Tour" national pro-troop caravan) was the source of inspiration for this effort, and is working to make it a huge success.
Move America Forward is asking all of our supporters and members to submit letters, cards, and notes of support for the men and women of the United States military who were wounded in their service to this nation.
We will be collecting these messages of support from you at each of the 27 pro-troop rallies across the nation September 3rd through 15th as the patriotic, pro-troop "Fight for Victory Tour" crosses the nation. When we arrive in Washington, D.C. we will deliver the majority of these letters and cards to Walter Reed Medical Center on September 14th for distribution to our heroic troops who are recovering there.

We'll also distribute some of the notes and letters to other Military medical facilities across the nation where our brave troops are recovering from injuries obtained in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
We're hoping that school classrooms across America can participate. We invite churches to also take part. We're hoping that veterans groups and civic clubs will participate. Our goal: to collect thousands upon thousands of notes, letters and cards that properly honor, thanks and salute our brave troops who now must cope with the struggles of a sometimes painful recovery process.

I like the AllPatriots@FreeRepublic.com email addy, Syncro :)
I wonder if Miss Morgan knows the majority of the members of Move America Forward are anti-war and anti-America.
Huh?
And the 25 Support the Troops rallies that MAF is going to host on the way?
Which is supported by dozens of Patriotic groups?
That's your choice, but posting the anti's views on this thread isn't appreciated.
Please explain.
