ThanksUSA is non-partisan, non-profit 501(c)(3) effort to mobilize Americans of all ages to ”thank” the men and women of the United States armed forces.  It provides college scholarships of up to $5,000 per year for the children and spouses of our troops.  A national
treasure hunt to raise awareness and funds for the scholarship program in an educational way debuted on May 29, 2006, offering great family-oriented prizes.

Operation Education – University of Idaho
The university has launched the Operation Education Scholarship, a program designed to help veterans severely and permanently wounded as a result of service since Sept. 11, 2001. The spouses of wounded veterans also will be eligible for the scholarship. It is the first such program in the nation.

REFLECTIONS

“I was so moved by last night’s [2007] presentation. I would like to know if there is some way I can write to some of the men and women in our Armed Forces in Iraq to let them know I am praying for them nightly. I pray also for their families – especially those who have lost someone that I may be free.”
