This is a monumental undertaking by Move America Forward. This is a sticky post and will stay at the top of the blog for several days. Please scroll down for new posts.

Here’s the Itinerary

Starting Monday, November 26th, Move America Forward is conducting or leading a huge, cross country pro-troop holiday cross-country road trip called the “Honoring Heroes at the Holidays Tour.”

This will be comprised of pro-troop rallies and events in 40 cities across America for the next three weeks. At each stop, they’re collecting signed Christmas, Hanukkah and holiday greeting cards that they’ll deliver to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The goal is to collect over 100,000 cards in this effort - and given the current rate the cards have been coming in to Move America Forward HQ, they could well exceed that.

When the “Honoring Our Heroes at the Holidays” national pro-troop tour ends on December 16th (in New York City), Move America Forward will send a delegation to Iraq to hand-deliver the final batch of cards to our troops on Christmas Day.

Let’s get the word out in order to bring out great crowds to these events and collect huge numbers of Christmas/Hanukkah/holiday cards for our troops.

If you can’t attend or help in that way, you can help them pay for the cost of this effort by making a donation - HERE

See pictures from their Sacramento event, here.

It’s uplifting to see regular Americans turning out for events like this rather than people dressed up in clown outfits that represent that Revolutionary Communist Party, International ANSWER, UFPJ and the rest.

God bless our troops.

    I’m green with envy!!! That is sooo cool. Notice how they are staying “South” for a good part of the trip! :-) Can’t say I blame them.

  4. SSgt Yatahey Says:

    Staying down SOUTH is just plain intelligent all year long — I’ll think of ya lovingly when you’re shoveling snow… :mrgreen:

    Smarty Pants!

  6. Cao Says:

    Yep, that’s what he is, all right.

  7. SSgt Yatahey Says:

    I feel the love from you two… :grin:

    You should feel sorry for me — Southern AZ has a major winter storm advisory out for tonight at 7,000 feet — oh wait; I’m on the desert floor and it won’t affect me … whew; thought I was gonna have to buy my first snow shovel… :mrgreen:
