Everyone
can use a little pick me up now and then. But for the millions of military
families manning the fort at home while their loved ones are away serving, a
gesture of Cheer is especially welcome.
When our troops are called
to serve, their families must rise to meet the challenges of service as well.
To thank them, Cheerios and the USO have partnered in a postcard campaign that
spreads Cheer directly to these honorable military families and supports USO
programs. Here´s how it works:
- During the months of October and November, 2011, specially-marked boxes of Cheerios cereal will feature Cheer postcards on the front of the box. Consumers can simply cut out the postcard from the Cheerios logo, write a message of thanks on the back, add a stamp and mail the pre-addressed card to the USO. The USO will deliver the Cheer card to military families across the country.
- For each postcard received through November 2012, Cheerios will make a $1 donation to the USO to help fund programs that support military families.
- To kick off the campaign, Cheerios has already donated $150,000 to the USO and will donate up to an additional $100,000 based upon the number of postcards received from specially marked boxes now through November 30th, 2012.
Sending a "Cheer"
postcard is a simple way to say thanks and lift the spirits of our country´s
military families. So, take a moment out of your day to spread some Cheer and
send a message of thanks!

In my "Cheer" postcard, I would write that I am so proud of all the men and women in every branch of our armed services. I would thank all of them and their families for the many sacrifices that they have made and are still making for our country. May God bless them and keep them safe!
I'd write- thanks for the sacrifice you and your family made

ReplyDeleteAs a military wife, apprecation to and from starts by a hand shake and a smile. Anything else is just frosting on the cake: military discounts, clothing/food drives for serving members, babysitting or BBQ on a Sunday.

ReplyDeleteMy friend's husband is in the Air Force; I know how hard it has been for her when he's away and they have a toddler. So many times she can't just pick up the phone and hear his voice; she has to deal with all the issues alone. I try to give her a break when I can so she doesn't feel so alone when he's deployed. Not to mention the constant worry that something will happen to him.

ReplyDeleteI come from a military family and married an Army guy so I am very aware of the things that military families have to go through. I think being in the military makes you a more aware of the things that you usually take for granted if you were a civilian.
