During this season of thanks and celebration, most of us will gather to eat, 
drink and enjoy time together; while many service members will find 
themselves celebrating the holidays far from loved ones stationed in remote 
locations or recuperating in military hospitals.

                 Will you bring a smile to our soldiers?

                 Dear Samme,

                        During this time as our country pulls together to 
respond to the millions impacted by Hurricane Sandy, we must not forget the 
unwavering support that our military service members provide for us every 
day at home and around the world. Over this holiday season, many service 
members will find themselves celebrating far from loved ones stationed in 
remote locations or recuperating in military hospitals.

                        This Veterans Day, you can show your support for our 
military heroes at home and abroad by giving a gift from our 2012 Holiday 
Giving Catalog:

                              .
                             For a soldier stationed overseas: Phone cards 
($20) connect a lonely soldier far from home with their loved ones, and make 
the distance a little more bearable during the holidays.

                              .
                             For a wounded warrior recovering in the 
hospital: Military comfort kits ($50) include a robe, shower shoes, 
toothpaste, an MP3 music gift card and other items that bring a warm, 
personal touch to a soldier's hospital stay.

                              .
                             For an injured hero returning home from 
service: A Red Cross caregiver training course ($75) can give family and 
friends the confidence and skills they need to care for the loved one they're 
welcoming home.

                        For over 100 years, the Red Cross has proudly served 
our nation's soldiers, veterans and military families - and we're proud to 
have the support of generous, thoughtful people like you. Thank you so much 
for standing with us as we recognize the selflessness and courage of the 
military service members and veterans who have dedicated their lives to 
protecting our own.

                        Sincerely,

                              Gail McGovern
                              President and CEO, American Red Cross
