“We appreciate these local celebrities taking a few minutes to recognize the efforts of our soldiers that are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, and we know that the troops that receive their messages will also appreciate the gesture,” said John Guinn, founder of The Thank You Foundation.

The Thank-You Foundation plans to distribute the Thank You cards in care packages following a Thank You card collection on Saturday, July 28, 2007 at the Deals store on Fields Ertel Rd. in Symmes Township, Ohio. One of the recipients of the cards will be Corporal Joel Dulashanti from Forest Park, Ohio. Dulashanti was wounded in the Middle East and is currently recovering at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington D.C.
