At the request and suggestion of other Munuvians I have transplanted this post from my own site:
Many of you may remember my Letters To The Troops campaign.
I had the opportunity to ensure that the letters I received were personally hand carried to the troops in Iraq.
In the end more than 30 bloggers participated and more than 320 letters were received.
I know we can do better.
The opportunity has presented itself once again and I am all over it! A close personal friend of mine is on his way to Iraq. He is a frequent reader of my site so this effort will not be a surprise like it was during the first campaign. He saw what we accomplished before and has challenged me to do it again. He is eager to be able to deliver hundreds of letters of support to the troops on the ground!
He is willing to hand carry any letters that I can generate and print to Tallil, Iraq and he will make every effort to forward them on from there.
So here is what we need to do. Bloggers, I urge each and every one of you to write your own letter to the troops overseas. Make it a general open letter to any Soldier, Sailor, Airman or Marine. Keep in mind that the people reading this letters will be both male and female of all ages, ethnic origins and religions. Once your letter is posted, please trackback to this post so that I may find and print your letter. Please direct your readers to this effort as well. Non-bloggers, please leave your open letter of support in the comment section of this post on my site. While it is possible for you to email me your letters, I'd like to see them in the comments so that troops overseas can access and read them online.
Our deadline for this endeavor will be the 17th of December. That will give me the time necessary to print all of the letters and have them ready to go. I will also be printing a sheet with the URL's of all bloggers who participate.
Please forward the link to this post to as many people as you can, both Bloggers and non-bloggers.
Once again, please make your way to the full post at my site to leave your comments, links or TrackBacks.
Let's make this huge.
SlagleRock Out!
