Every single soldier stationed or deployed outside the United States deserves to receive a letter of gratitude on Thanksgiving Day. We want to give our troops a “Big Thank You” with a little taste of home this Thanksgiving.

In 2007, 375,000 letters to troops all over the world were successfully sent. In 2011, The Bert Show community help to express a BIG THANK YOU with over 405,000 letters! This year our goal is the same, to provide a letter of appreciation to each service member deployed outside the United States. We can only do this with your help. Let’s pull together to make this project a success!

Jersey Mike's Get a letter writing campaign started. We want everyone in your school, church, civic group, sorority/ fraternity, office, or neighborhood to write letters. Give our troops that much deserved show of appreciation by writing a letter of thank you.

+ LETTER FORMAT

Each letter should be heartfelt, handwritten, original, and free of any political statements. The purpose of the letter is to express thanks to the military personnel currently deployed outside the United States. We reserve the right to eliminate those messages that are political in nature and do not reflect a positive message in the spirit of Thanksgiving.

All letters must be on 8.5” x 11” paper or smaller.
Do not use glue, tape, staples, cardboard, glitter
Decorate using crayons, markers, pens or pencils.
Use both sides if you like, but use one page per letter only.
Do not send greeting cards or photographs.
Feel free to include your mailing and email address.
Individual letters should not be sealed in envelopes.
Do not send anything except letters.

(We cannot accept donations of any kind, and they should not be included or attached to letters.)

+ SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Every individual letter is important, but for organizational purposes, please try to submit letters in bulk whenever possible. Work with your school, church, civic group, sorority/fraternity, office, neighborhood, etc. and send all letters bundled as directed below.

FOR GROUP SUBMISSIONS:

Letters should be bundled in groups of 50, 100 or 250.
Held together with two rubber bands: one wrapped lengthwise and the other widthwise.

FOR INDIVIDUAL SUBMISSIONS:

The top page in the bundle should indicate clearly how many letters are included.
Do not bundle letters unless they are in groups of 50, 100 or 250.
If you have a partial bundle of less than 50 letters, fasten them together with a paperclip.
