TELL THEM THANKS The Immediate Response Team

You MUST be 18 yrs or older.

This team is designed to support troops who have been sent to us as an entire unit, often in groups of 50 or more.  Since the larger groups take a bit longer to adopt out as opposed to an individual service member who requests support, the idea is to have team members send a one-time letter to a service member knowing that within a week or so they will be adopted out to someone who can support them for the duration of their deployment.

An email will be sent to you once a week with the name & contact information for 1 or more service members, depending how many you feel you can commit to writing to on a weekly basis.

We suggest that you introduce yourself as belonging to Tell Them Thanks & a member of The Immediate Response Team.  As a gentle reminder, please be respectful & do not say anything that could be considered offensive to them.  Our goal is to shower them with support from back home while expressing our appreciation for the sacrifices that they (& their families) are making as they serve our country.

The security of our service members is vitally important!  Please remember that for security reasons, any contact information we send to you is confidential & should not be shared outside of Tell Them Thanks.

If you would like to part of this effort, please fill out the application on this page.  If you are already a member of Tell Them Thanks, you can just send an email to TellThemThanks@yahoo.com  & we'll sign you up.

TELL THEM THANKS AGREEMENT

Service Member information must be kept confidential at ALL times. You are restricted from giving out any of your Service Member's information.

It is against the law to mail any of the following items to your Service Member. If any of these items are sent, you could face charges and will no longer be a part of Tell Them Thanks. While there are several "rules of thumb" that can be referred to, individual APO/FPO zip codes have restrictions that are specific to the overseas location they serve. It is your responsibility to find out what these restrictions are. Forbidden items include any matter depicting nude or seminude persons and pornographic or sexual items. Non-authorized political materials are prohibited as are bulk quantities of religious materials contrary to the Islamic faith. Religious items for the personal use of the service member are permissible. Firearms of any type are prohibited. Pork or pork by-products are also prohibited. Fruits, animals, living plants, and soil are prohibited. All alcoholic beverages and materials used in the making of alcoholic beverages (distilling materials, hops, malts, yeast, etc.) are also prohibited.

Tell Them Thanks is not a dating service. All members are forbidden to engage in any kind of romantic or sexual relationship with their Service Member. Any such behavior will not be tolerated and you will immediately be removed from the organization.

By submitting this form, I agree to all of the above stated conditions and understand that, if I do not comply, I may be at risk of being removed from the Tell Them Thanks organization.
