MILITARY APPRECIATION MONTH
The men and women of our military - past and present - are our heroes. For 232 years they have helped to build, defend and protect our country and our freedom. They have left their personal lives on hold to take care of our greater need. May is the month that is designated as Military Appreciation Month. I propose that we use May as our month to share our appreciation for our heroes and to build ongoing programs that will continuously strive to show that appreciation each and every day!

May 11th is Mother's Day - Support our Military Moms and eMOM
April 23rd, 2008 Mother's Day is a real challenge for families who have loved ones serving abroad in the military. Whether you are a mom serving in the military, stationed abroad, or your deployed and your mom is back home missing you, it can be a really tough day.
As the President of eMail Our Military (eMOM) and a military spouse, I've been working with different organizations who want to help make the pain of separation just a little bit easier on our military service members and their families.
I met Conrad through mutual friends on Twitter and now were working together to get the word out to everyone interested in making this Mother's Day, May 11th, a little easier for all of us who have loved ones in the military.
Prior to September 11, 2001 it was possible for civilians to send letters, notes, and homemade cards to military service members through a program called Any Service Member mail. With the threat of terrorism following 9/11, the Department of Defense cancelled the Any Service Member mail program for the safety of our military. As a result, eMail Our Military was created to help fill the void.
My friends at Qipit joined us in our efforts this year and have been very helpful in working with us to personalize email to and from our troops. Qipit is now making it really easy for personal communications, like cards, letters and even legal documents, to be converted into an email format.
Just as Conrad has written here many times, Qipit is a free online copy, scanning and fax service that doesnft require a scanner, just a digital camera or camera phone. I'm finding that it is the next best thing to the original document, much easier than going to a copy store and it saves you the expense.
Here at eMail Our Military, we were already getting our messages of love and support to the frontlines electronically, now we can again send the actual images, from their creators to our troops.
As you can imagine, it is so much more meaningful to see the words of from a child or spouse in their own handwriting, and with illustrations.
If your reading this and you don't know anyone in the military, you can still get involved. Our service members need you. Please contact us and we'll show you how. Everyone is invited to join eMOM. Our military needs all of our support.
Mother's Day is the perfect opportunity to tell them and their families how much we appreciate them and support them and their Moms.
~ Trish Forant, President, eMail Our Military

How often do we consider the:
Additionally, many expect the long-term post-war contingent in Iraq to number in excess of 20,000. Our nations commitments are many and that load is shouldered by a proud and selfless few. We cannot repay their sacrifices or truly compensate them for their dedication. We can, however, honor them with a glimpse of life back home, with entertainment and with our mere presence, if only for a short while. If you know of a service member who would like their name added to our list, please E-mail Me at: MarineVet66To68@comcast.net
