Coolest Thing Ever...

Update: You can hear the founder of Moment of Thanks interviewed on SpouseBUZZ Radio.

Well, maybe not ever... but definitely the coolest thing I've been involved in since Valour-IT:

Check it out!

As a die-hard Padres fan, I have to say that I have a newfound love for Tommy Lasorda. Go see what he says, and you'll understand how a Dodger could bring a Padres fan to tears off the field.

They are still adding videos to the site, and now anybody can upload non-political/non-partisan videos, pictures and words of gratitude and support for America's wonderful military men and women. To help get the word about Moment of Thanks out to those men and women, Soldiers' Angels (who has been giving guidance and providing contacts on this project) has been given thousands of postcards advertising the site. They are already being included in care packages so that our military men and women will know about this wonderful project. And Soldiers' Angels will also be passing out Moment of Thanks flyers and recording Thank You messages at events around the country all summer.

On the weekend we celebrate our initial independence, could there be a better time for us to thank the people who keep us free? As you celebrate our heritage and freedom, grab your camera and get some videos of people you know thanking our wonderful troops at the parades and fireworks and picnics! It doesn't have to be complicated or flashy--just turn on the camera and say "Thank you for your service. We're proud of you!" After you recover from the hot dogs, potato salad, BBQ and beer, sit down and upload it to Moment of Thanks.

Then, spread the word to the civilians and military folk you know! In the middle of the Political Silly Season, let's remind our troops that America's heart is still in the right place and we've got their backs.
