Sorry to email again on a holiday, but I needed to bump Scarlett Johansson’s message below to the top of your inbox: There’s only a few more hours left to thank our troops before Independence Day ends, and I sincerely hope you’ll join Scarlett and thousands of others and take action to show your gratitude right now:
While we’re raising American flags and celebrating at a cookout with family, our troops are far from home: putting their lives on the line so that we can have the freedoms we so dearly cherish. That’s why it’s so important that today especially, we show our troops that we have their backs, and we show them that we are grateful for their sacrifice. As Scarlett said, honoring their service is the least we can do.
Please, before July Fourth ends, sign the card to let our brave heroes know that you care.
Thank you,
Mary English Bell, USO

Subject: This July 4, join me and thank the heroes defending our country
Mary English,
I've been lucky enough to join the USO for several tours and events and meet thousands of our brave service members. It's such an emotional experience each time to listen to their stories and personally thank them for their service and their immense sacrifices.
I know there are many moments in the line of duty where these heroes need a reminder that they are appreciated — when they're facing danger and uncertainty, stationed in unfamiliar places far from home or missing holidays with loved ones.
That's why, this Fourth of July, I hope you'll join me in thanking our service members: I'm helping the USO collect at least 100,000 signatures on a special July 4th thank-you card to honor our heroes, so please, will you add your name next to mine now to thank the troops sacrificing so much to protect our freedom?
Whether I'm shaking hands with troops on the ground or connecting with them virtually around the world, I know a quick expression of thanks goes a long way to boost their morale and strengthen their resiliency. It's the least we can do, Mary English, to honor those who volunteer to keep us safe and free back home.
So please, before you go out to celebrate our country with family and friends this Fourth of July, can I count on you to be one of the 100,000 signers via email and text messages to thank all the troops sacrificing so much for us? Sign the card now to honor these courageous heroes.
Thank you so much. Happy Fourth of July!
Scarlett Johansson
