Since 1949, Americans have joined other countries around the world in celebrating Armed Forces Week (beginning 2nd<\/sup> Saturday in May), culminating in Armed Forces Day<\/strong><\/span><\/a> (3rd<\/sup> Sunday in May). Every U.S. military branch – Navy, Army, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard – is recognized, remembered and honored. This year, Armed Forces Day falls on May 21st<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

If you know an active military service member, now\u2019s a great time to send a heart-warming greeting card. It\u2019s a great way to stay in touch – tell a loved one you miss them<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, support our troops<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, or thank a friend <\/strong><\/span><\/a>for their dedication to duty and service to their country. Sending cards and letters is so important because nobody appreciates mail from friends and family like a man or woman serving far away from home!<\/p>\n

At last! In sight of home again,
\nOf home again;
\nNo more to range and roam again
\nAs at that bygone time?
\nNo more to go away from us
\nAnd stay from us? –
\nDawn, hold not long the day from us,
\nBut quicken it to prime!
\n—Thomas Hardy<\/p>\n

If you haven’t already gotten in touch with your favorite soldier, sailor, airman or Marine, there’s plenty of time to pick a unique card, add your own message, and we\u2019ll take care of the rest.<\/p>\n

Order 10+ cards and Save! Pay $3.00<\/span> $2.49<\/span> per card. Use code 2011MAY249<\/span> – Ends May 13, 2011.
