bozodog Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 If there was a free, easy way to send a message of support directly to troops for Thanksgiving would you do it?Yes? Well, get out your cell phone.The Department of Defense is offering an instant text messaging service to put Americans in touch with U.S. soldiers who are protecting them abroad during the holiday season.Those who wish to participate can send a free text message to say thanks to 89279 and will immediately get a response from a soldier on their phone. (I did it and received five heartfelt responses within a few minutes.)This free texting service is provided through AT&T, Verizon, Sprint Nextel, and T-Mobile and will expire on November 22.For more details about the program, called America Supports, click HERE. The website features a widget that publishes some of the real-time messages being sent for those unsure of what to write. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
