I just wanted to make sure you saw this statistic, especially ahead of Military Appreciation Month:

Eighty-one percent of active-duty service member survey respondents feel like the American people don’t understand the sacrifices they make for us.* I believe it is our duty to change this sobering statistic now, and I hope you’ll join me.

Our troops serve hundreds of thousands of miles away from home in some of the world’s harshest and most dangerous places, and the least we can do is let them know that we’ve got their backs. That’s why, ahead of Military Appreciation Month, we’re collecting signatures from military supporters just like you, but you’re running out of time before our midnight goal deadline. Please add your name now to show our troops how deeply grateful you are for all that they do to keep us safe and protected.

Thank you for sharing your gratitude,

Lex Kelly

This is a sad statistic, Lex: 81% of active-duty service member survey respondents feel like the American people don't understand the sacrifices they make for us.*

As you read this, there are over a million brave troops actively serving and protecting our country all over the world — including 100,000 U.S. service members deployed in Eastern Europe to defend our nation and our NATO allies. But as the news cycle moves on, their courage and bravery often go unnoticed and unrecognized.

We need to collect 50,000 signatures on a thank-you card for our service members to show them this patriotic community will always have their backs — and we're counting on you to add your name before the Friday goal deadline. Please add your name now to show our troops how deeply grateful you are for all that they do to keep us safe and protected.

Our military heroes make daily sacrifices for us and rarely get the appreciation they need and deserve. With Military Appreciation Month right around the corner, we need dedicated military supporters like you to help us ensure our troops don’t feel forgotten. As our service members put their lives in harm's way, it's truly disheartening to know that some of them don't feel appreciated for their sacrifice. That's why, in advance of Military Appreciation Month, we're asking you to take just a few seconds to help us change this alarming statistic. It’s as simple as saying “thank you.”

This is the least we can do for those serving in some of the world’s harshest and most dangerous conditions. So please, will you sign our thank-you card now to let our troops know how much you appreciate their service and sacrifice?

Thank you for thanking our service members,

The USO
