Memorial Day is a day to grill great food in the beautiful summer
weather surrounded by friends and family. But before we enjoy our
holiday-inspired cocktails and burgers cooked to perfection, it’s
important we take time to remember what this Monday off is all about:
honoring the troops who fought selflessly for our freedom. That’s why
this Memorial Day we’ll be collecting donations and letters to send
overseas to our soldiers to remind them how thankful we are.
We’ve asked all the employees of our roughly 70 person strong small
business to spend a few dollars on something or simply write a letter to
put a smile on the soldiers’ faces. Whether it’s something as small as a
bag of beef jerky or a meaningful handwritten thank you card, we hope
to make them feel a little closer to home this Memorial Day. Donations
and letters will be collected until Thursday, May 25
th.
We invite our local customers and followers to participate by
dropping any donations off at our Jacksonville, FL. location at 2021 St.
Augustine Rd. E. To those spread far and wide throughout the country,
you can also contribute. Care packages can be sent to Support Our Troops
at the below address and they will ensure they make it to our troops.
Support Our Troops
13791 N. Nebraska Ave.
Tampa, FL 33613
Support Our Troops asks
all senders to include your name, address and phone number on the
outside of each box in case you need to be contacted. It’s also
encouraged to include a photo of yourself, family, company, etc. so the
soldiers can see who the packages are coming from! If you have any
further questions, visit their website
here.
To encourage your participation, we’ll be giving away some Memorial
Day-inspired summer swag to one randomly chosen participant! Simply
share your donations and letters with us by posting a picture on
Facebook,
Twitter or
Instagram
and tagging Simply Stamps. All pictured donations will be considered an
entry because we know the smallest things can have just as big of an
impact!
We thank you in advance for your contributions and your desire to
make a difference! Our gratitude goes out to all of our soldiers,
fallen, retired and current. Cheers to an unforgettable Memorial Day
weekend in their honor.
Thanks for stopping by~

Whatever I feel about our involvement in various campaigns around the world, I can never underestimate the work that servicemen and women do. A great cause. Xx
