I have an idea that is "out-of-the-box" that will help two causes at once; our military and LH.
This has nothing to do with politics or supporting the war. This has everything to do with supporting the brave and dedicated troops that are risking there lives for our nation. they are friends, family members, cousins, uncles, brothers, and sisters...They are a part of our lives even if we don't know a single person by name.
Alone and far from their families, hope burns bright in their hearts for the day they will return home.
A simple thing that we can do, such as writing a letter, can help motivate and give them our support.
I thought that The Street Team could send letters to the troops.
To spread the love, we can mention our all American boys the Lovehammers. This doesn't have to be huge... Simply using letterhead with Lh incorporated into it. Maybe even send stickers or flyer's. Just a subtle way to get LH heard to our men and women overseas. It would be great to be able to send LH cd's, but I realize that that would take a huge amount of money.
The main point is to give the many troops are support. The benefit to LH is to spread the word to those that may not be aware of our Chicago band.
I think the benefit will be great to both parts....
A few sites I found accepting letters, emails and cards are:
www.amillionthanks.org
www.americasupportsyou.mil
www.anysoldier.com
Or "snail Mail" can be directly sent to:
A Million Thanks
c/o Lutheran High School
2222 North Santiago Blvd
Orange, California 92867
*NOTE: PLEASE FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES POSTED AT EACH OF THE SITES FOR LETTER CONTENT. THEY REQUEST THAT ONLY POSITIVE MESSAGES BE POSTED WITH NO REFERENCES TO ANYTHING THAT WILL CAUSE THE TROOP MEMBER DISTRESS (i.e., MENTIONING DEATH OR BEING AWAY FROM FAMILY).
Thank you.
