Sorry to email again on a holiday, but I needed to bump Brooke Shields’ message below to the top of your inbox: There’s only a few more hours left to thank our service members before Independence Day ends, and I sincerely hope you’ll join Brooke 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 service members 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 the people who serve that we have their backs, and we show them that we are grateful for their sacrifice. As Brooke 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.

Subject: This July 4, join me and thank the heroes defending our country
Tabitha,
I was 15 years old when I went on my first USO tour, and it was so incredible to see the amount of joy it gave service members for us to simply be there and show them our support.
In the dozens of USO shows and tours I've done since, I've had the pleasure of meeting thousands of our nation's heroes. But despite all the joy these shows provided and all the times I've personally thanked our service members for their service — I know I can always do more.
That's why I'm still working with the USO today to give our service members the thanks and appreciation they deserve. And ahead of this Fourth of July, I hope you'll join me by being one of the 100,000 military supporters via emails and text messages that we need to sign the USO's July 4 thank-you card for our heroes: Please Tabitha, will you add your name next to mine now to thank our service members for all the sacrifices they make to keep our country safe and free?

Since I went on that first USO tour, there have been many difficult moments for our country's military — and we're living through another one of those moments now.
Wars are raging and tensions are escalating around the world, and our service members have been deployed to conflict areas far from home where they face danger and uncertainty while missing holidays and special moments with loved ones.
Though service members on active duty are always grateful to be reminded of how much we appreciate them, a quick expression of thanks can be even more powerful to boost morale and strengthen their resilience during times like this.

Thank you so much. Happy Fourth of July!
