Great idea, Andrea!  My card is going out tomorrow for this most special of heroes.

A friend of mine sent this along to me and I thought that it was worthwhile to pass it along to you.  I am sending my card to him today.  I really hope that you all do the same.

Would you please send a birthday/thank you card to:

Irwin Saunders, who is a WWII Vet and will be turning 90 on June 13, 2011.

This is an excerpt from a letter from his son: 

'Irwin Saunders  is a WWII vet who was, and still is, very proud of his service to our country.  Originally from IL, and lived here until retirement.

He will be 90 on June 13, 2011, and we would love to have him receive 90 birthday cards for his birthday because he is one of that Great Generation, and we all owe that generation a big thank you and God bless you.

Even though you might not know him, you can be proud of the kind of proud American he has been for helping make this country great.  

Thank you to everyone who helps brighten his day'.

Irwin R. Saunders
c/o Irene Spencer
1379 Pacific St
Redlands, CA 92354

His family is hoping to get 90 cards for his 90th birthday. 

I'm hoping he'll get 900!

Postcard follow up - Henry and I just returned from Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos Islands. We sent postcards to residents and staff of the retirement community where my father lived his last year.

Thanks for the idea, Andrea!

Great idea Andrea!

I saw this website in Dear Abby this morning and I thought that I would pass it along.  This would benefit many people-- the military that would be receiving the books and the people clearing out their homes.  It seems like a great idea for everyone involved!

Check it out.  It is just another giving idea!
