"Boy making cards for 180,000 troops
Ten-year-old Stephen Goodman, a fifth-grader in Surprise, Arizona, wants to send a thank you card next to military personnel. Not to one platoon, or to just one division, but to every actively deployed service member in the U.S. military. Stephen said he thought of the idea while spending the summer with his grandparents in Phoenix. “My grandpa went to Vietnam and didn’t get any cards, and he felt forgotten,”

"You have from now until July 1st to help Stephen reach his goal, help say "thank you" to our brave military personnel who are deployed overseas, .......

I saw this request on Karen Burniston's blog and thought what a great idea!!! You can send them to Stephen himself by clicking on the "CLICK" here or up above.

I'm going to try to make at least 10. WHAT WILL YOU DO???? If you want to participate, email me and let me know, and I can send them to him in a big envelope or box....Let me know by April 6th. You don't have to give me the cards until the end of April but I would like to know how many to expect!!!! I would like to get them to him as soon as possible, even though the deadline is in July....

I love to help in the community in any way....it sure makes me realize that my troubles are nothing compared to others, and that God touches my life in so many ways, that I can't help but feel blessed to pass along something to help others feel good too.

Details:

A2 is the preferred card size. That is half of a piece of 8.5 x 11 cardstock (Bazzill, of course!) cut into a 4.25″ x 5.5″ strip and folded.
It doesn’t have to be red, white and blue… it can be anything your heart desires as long as it is made with love!
Do not use glitter! Be careful the card does not become too bulky.
If you can send envelopes along with your cards, that would be appreciated. If not, Xpedx is going to be donating 20,000 envelopes to fill in the gaps.
Yes, sign it. Imagine Stephen going back to sign 180,000 cards! We need to save his hand so he can play sports in his free time.
Download the pdf entry form from the Creative Escape website, fill it in, and send one copy with every five cards. All the cards can be mailed together, but we will be using your paperwork to pull the name of the winner. You can fill it in once and make photocopies, if you’d like. For example, if you send 50 cards, include 10 entry forms.
Send as many cards as you would like!
