(NAPSA)—Thanksto the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA), the nation now has an easier way to say thanks to its veterans and members of our active military. The group has launched a new Web site—www.thankyouveter ans.org—where Americans from all walksof life can write to, or simply thank, either a veteran or an activeduty service member. Thank You For Defending Our Freedoms Every person who sends an ecard can also enter PVA’s “Most Patriotic Community Contest.” The sender simply enters his or her address after sending the ecard to give credit to his or her city or town. PVA will track all greetings sent to veterans and troops and the community with the highest per-capita participation will be honored. Thee-cards can be sent to one or multiple recipients. E-card senders can also send their card to an anonymous hospitalized veteran, which will be delivered by PVA. E-cards already sent have had an impact. Blake Ortner, a lieutenant colonel in the Army National Guard deployed to Afghanistan, said, “I rely on e-mail and other technologies to stay in contact with my family and friends. Nevertheless, the e-cards from caring citizens remind me that the American people are keeping us in their thoughts.” To learn more about PVA,visit its Web site at www.pva.org.
