My FIL will be celebrating his 80th Birthday Sept.20......
Our Family has decided to "blitz" him with cards,hoping to at least send him 80
He would be very thrilled to get so many! He is the best sort,served in the Korean War, a retired carpenter who only wanted to raise his 6 kids right and
provide for his wife and Family.
If you would be so nice to send him a card/postcard.,PM me....I'll give his name and location to send.I know there are so many of you out there who are from a wide variety of interesting places and do so many different things that would be great to tell him about- if you don't want to use your name,your board name would be fine.
THANK YOU in advance to any who want to help!

DisneyMom's Father In law is a surviving member of The Frozen Chosen - Korean War. He is an American Veteran who deserves our Thank you.

We can be a huge part of this special Birthday Card surprise with such little effort. Please ALL join & wish John a Very Happy 80th Birthday. Ernie did honor John at DL Flag Retreat 2 years ago. I'm not sure who was really honored the most as there were tears in the eyes of both John & Ernie. Ernie has a Birthday Card ready to be mailed to his inspiring friend. A postcard from your city, state, an American Flag, favorite place, pix of your pet, a Birthday Card from Hallmark Shoe Box, or The Dollar Tree, or even better, let your child draw/make the Birthday card. Whatever form you choose will be absolutely great!
We can All give John a memorable Birthday!! Please send cards to snail DisneyMom provides. I have the snail for you all too.
Be a part of something Good!
Please send John a card on his 80th Birthday. He MUST realize he is wished a smile & a thought.

my guess would be is that he has zero posts.
he needs to post on the threads that give a post count to get by the minimum set by the board operators to send/receive a PM.
hey DM, send me the info!!

Spectrum,
According to your profile you should be able to and and receive PMs. I added 1 to your post count just in case. Give it another shot.
