Honoring Heroes at the Holidays
November 28, 2007
Move America Forward will arrive in New York City on Sunday, December 16th, culminating their 16 state cross country caravan collecting Holiday Cards for our young men and women serving overseas this Holiday season.
Let’s pull out all the stops and get as many cards as possible written and delivered to them on their arrival here. The attached flier details how cards are to be prepared and where to mail them in New York City to meet the caravan.
Time is short. Two weeks to get cards written and mailed to arrive in New York so let’s get a move on!
We will have a large rally in New York City to welcome the caravan at Liberty Street and Church Street by the World Trade Center site starting at 1 pm on Sunday, December 16th. Please plan to attend and deliver your cards personally if you are in the area!
We will all enjoy the comfort of friends and family this season while our young military men and women will be serving far away from home. Let’s take a little time now to show them that we are thinking about them and supporting the fine job they are doing for us around the world!
