Last week, a bipartisan Congressional delegation travelled to Afghanistan to meet with troops and commanders and Operation Appreciation went too!

Congressman Glenn Nye (D-Va), a member of the House Armed Services Committee, brought letters of thanks to our soldiers from Blue Star Family's Operation Appreciation.

From Congressman Nye's web site:

From Hampton Roads to Afghanistan

The Saturday before Nye left for Afghanistan, he hosted a Congress At Your Corner open meeting in Virginia Beach. Working with Hampton Roads Blue Star Families, Nye invited local students and families to write thank you cards for troops overseas. He personally delivered those cards on Wednesday when he met with a group of sailors and Marines at Kandahar Air Field in Afghanistan.

Thank you, Congressman Nye!

We also encourage you to contact your local school, community center, church group or politicians to get them involved. Saying thank you is a great way to brighten a military family member's day and make military life just a bit easier.
