I send cards out to soldiers on almost a daily basis. Thank you cards, Happy Birthday cards, cards of encouragement, and just simple Hello's. Well today I was so happy to receive a card in the mail from a female soldier who really appreciates getting our cards and letters. She expressed how important it is to their morale to know that they are truly appreciated and cared for back at home.
I also got an email from a soldier on his second tour. Turns out he is from Jacksonville! Can you believe it? Out of the thousands of soldiers out there I sent a card to one from home! He really appreciated hearing from me.
I can't wait for all of us to send cards to our men and women of the 39th! Who knows, you may just get an email or a card back as well!!!
Have a great day!

Thomas Jefferson on Redistribution of Wealth
“To take from one because it is thought that his own productivity has acquired too much, in order to give to others who have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association: the guarantee to everyone of a free exercise of his hard work and the profits acquired by it.”
