Jamey Johnson Would Be Grateful for Thank-You Notes
My mom was a big supporter of thank-you notes until the day she died. Actually, supporter is probably not the right word. Tyrant might be better. I was not allowed to even open the Barbie box or make one measly cake in my Easy Bake Oven until I'd written the thank-you note to the gift giver. And it looks like Jamey Johnson and Randy Houser were raised the same way. Because while they are out on tour together, they are asking fans to write thank-you postcards to troops through the USO. "Those guys in the field need some emotional connection to home, and I think this project will bring a little bit of home to them," said Johnson. You can do it the old-fashioned way, with a pen and a stamp, and or go the virtual way by visiting the USO's Web site to tell the soldiers you appreciate their gift of service and that America hasn't forgotten them. The USO will print those online notes and give them to the troops serving overseas.

As a mom of a futue soldier, I have to say thank you to Jamey for remembering all of our finest who are here & away from home. Also thanks to country music for so many songs that reflect the military family’s feelings.
Thank God I’m a country girl!
