The
White House
From First Lady
Michelle Obama
Good morning,
Every Thanksgiving, Barack sits down to call some of our troops and
thank them for their service.
When he tells me about these conversations, it always reminds me of how
blessed we are to live in a country where men and women will stand up
to protect our freedoms and preserve our way of life. And whenever I’ve
had the chance to meet with these heroes and their families, I’ve
always walked away inspired by their courage and in awe of their
strength.
I can’t think of any better way to spend Thanksgiving than letting our
servicemembers know how grateful we are for everything that they do. So
this year, we’re making it easy to do just that.
We’ve partnered with the USO to create a program called Thanks From
Everywhere. To get involved, simply visit JoiningForces.gov/Thanks and
write a quick note that troops and veterans all over the world will be
able to see.
Your note will be added to a map with messages from people all over the
country, showing our troops and their families just how much we
appreciate their service and sacrifice.
If we all do our part, we’ll help to build a wave of support to honor
our veterans and their families -- and ensure they get the recognition
they deserve this holiday season.
At a time when we are sitting down to share the blessings we’ve
received this past year, please take a moment to be a part of this
effort to thank America’s heroes and their families.
Send a message to Thanks From Everywhere today:

Happy Thanksgiving,
Michelle Obama
