<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. &#8212; America&#8217;s Adopt A Soldier &#174;2017 marks the seventh year that will reach out to America to ask for cards of thanks to share with our nation&#8217;s Service Members who are deployed and Veterans who are in State Veterans Homes and Hospitals.</p><p>According to Mary Keeser, America&#8217;s Adopt A Soldier&#174; Founder, &#8220;In 2016, over 120,000 care letters, were shared. This year, the goal is to reach over 300,000, which would allow us to send at least four letters to every Veteran in a Veterans Home or Veterans Hospital as well as to our deployed Service Members.&#8221;</p><p>Keeser said the cards and letters are drawn or written by a diverse group of individuals, from 3 years-old to the over 100 years- old &#8212; from kitchen tables to classrooms, to businesses, to college dorms to faith-based establishments, the pens, pencils, crayons and pieces of paper used to create messages of hope, appreciation, unity and support will have a positive impact</p><p>To participate in the 2017 National Care Letter Campaign, mail your personal written and designed letter or greeting card to America&#8217;s Adopt A Soldier, 5400 Shawnee Rd. Ste #300, Alexandria, Va. 22312.</p><p>For more information visit: www.americasadoptasoldier.org or call 703-278-3718.</p><style>
