Will you be sending holiday greeting cards out this year? Why not include an extra one for a soldier in the Canadian Armed Forces?  

A drawing, holiday card or note can brighten the day of a young soldier.

This is not the first year the Canadian Armed Forces encourages fellow Canadians to reach out to someone who is serving on our behalf. In recent years video messages have been produced along with traditional cards sent by mail. It would mean a great deal to a soldier who is away from home and family during the holidays to receive a note from one of us here at home.
