LAST 2 DAYS!!
The City of Duluth will be collecting the letters again this year for the Bert Show “Big Thank You 2015.” One of my very favorite events each year, this is a letter writing campaign with the goal of making sure every single deployed soldier receives a letter on Thanksgiving Day.
Please take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to sit down with your kids to thank those who sacrifice being with their families to protect ours. Just a 1-2 sentence letter from your kids can make a huge difference in the lives of those so far from home.

Guidelines Taken from The Bert Show website:
Each letter should be heartfelt, handwritten, original, and free of any political statements. The purpose of the letter is to express thanks to the military personnel currently deployed outside the United States. We reserve the right to eliminate those messages that are political in nature and do not reflect a positive message in the spirit of Thanksgiving.
