Letters that mean so much

My brother is currently deployed in Iraq, and one thing that really comforts him is letters from home. If you are short on time to volunteer with an organization for a certain number of hours, writing letters to our troops is a great way to make a difference! I know that Pontiac has partnered with A Million Thanks to help raise the number of letters being sent to our troops over seas. This is one of the best ways to send a letter to our troops. Just compose a letter of encouragement, find a dealership nearest to you and put the letter in the drop box. "Amillionthanks" should also be an inspiration to all teens to make a difference. This huge program was started by a teenage girl, Shauna Flemming who helped support our troops by collecting letters form church congregations and various school organizations. Her program grew so large that she has drop boxes posted in a various Pontiac dealerships throughout the nation. So don't let anyone tell you that you can't make a difference as a teenager!
