Military service members deployed in combat zones would get excited about an unexpected letter of appreciation. Such a kind act can boost spirits of those in harm's way. In honor of Veterans' Day, a San Leandro, Calif.-based gourmet coffee company (http://www.rogersfamilyco.com ) in partnership with Operation Gratitude (http://www.operationgratitude.com ) is sponsoring a contest that encourages Americans to write letters to our troops for the holidays and at the same time earn prizes for individuals and much-needed money for their favorite schools.

Hurricane Katrina had ravaged the city. They recently returned to the Gulf Coast to see how rebuilding had progressed. |
