ThanksUSA sent out an email this morning telling us that the next hunt starts on Thanksgiving day 2007! I think thats good in that it gives me something other to do than eat turkey (or tofurkey)

So, below will be the email... And in this thread, ask questions that you have about the hunt!! 

Almost forgot that email

 

Dear Treasure Hunters:

Watch for the announcement that ThanksUSA's American History Treasure Hunt Three is to begin Thanksgiving Day, November 22, 2007. This time the hunt runs through August 15, 2008. We hope you will once again help us "Treasure our Troops" with your support of the hunt and the scholarship fund for the kids and spouses of the troops.

We'd like to share with you -- from America Supports You -- an exciting initiative that will be taking place over the Thanksgiving holidays. It's a text messaging program called "Giving Thanks." It provides Americans the opportunity to quickly and easily give an expression of thanks to our military men and women. Please see below.

Sincerely,
The ThanksUSA Team

WHO: America Supports You is a Department of Defense program that recognizes citizens' support for our military and their families, at home and abroad, and connects individuals and organizations who wish to directly support the troops and their families. ASY is launching a text messaging program called "Giving Thanks".

WHAT: Giving Thanks is an interactive America Supports You program taking place during the Thanksgiving holiday to offer citizens an opportunity to say thank you to the men and women who serve this nation. Major mobile wireless providers, including AT&T, Verizon, Sprint Nextel, and T-Mobile, provide access to the America Supports You Text Message program.

WHEN: People can text a message of thanks to 8-9-2-7-9, beginning at 6am EST on Saturday, November 17, and ending at midnight, PDT on November 22, Thanksgiving Day.

WHY: The goal is for people to take a moment during the Thanksgiving holiday to think about those who are serving this nation, and act in a way that demonstrates they appreciate their sacrifices. Giving Thanks offers a unifying moment for the nation, during a time in which families traditionally come together and express gratitude for things large and small that contribute to their lives. The United States currently has brave military men and women serving in 177 countries. These troops and their families will be informed about how many people have texted in their thanks and will get to see many of the messages, reminding them that people back home do care.

HOW: On Thanksgiving Day America Supports You will tabulate the number of messages sent to the troops. The volume of text messages will serve as a reminder to our military that the folks back home are grateful for their service.

About America Supports You

Since its formation three years ago, the America Supports You program has welcomed over 300 grassroots organizations and 35 corporate partners to its team. Many America Supports You team members support the troops through letter writing, care packages, helping the wounded when they return home, assisting military families, sending an email, or making a kind gesture -- to learn more about how you can help please visit www.AmericaSupportsYou.mil
