The American Red Cross and Pitney Bowes, Inc. have joined together to invite all Americans to “send a touch of home” to United States service members and veterans across the country and abroad.

The Holiday Mail for Heroes program is now in its third year. This wonderful program is such an easy way to share joy and thanks with service members during the holiday season and all it takes is a greeting card.

Here’s what you do:

Send a signed holiday greeting card entitled “Dear Service Member, Family or Veteran” by December 7, 2009 to:

Holiday Mail for Heroes
P.O. Box 5456
Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456

Happy Thanksgiving from your friends at Emergency Medical Products! Every year seems to go a little quicker and before you know it the holidays have passed. One minute you’re celebrating Labor Day and the next you’re trying to dodge the Christmas aisles while picking out a Halloween costume. So, here we are at Thanksgiving. Take a moment, a deep breath and give thanks – for your family, your friends, your health, the good times that have passed and the good times yet to come. Take a moment to slow down and celebrate the moment.

Wherever you find yourself this Thanksgiving 2009 slow down and give thanks. Give your time, even just a smile. It’s free and works wonders.

November 11th is Veterans Day, a day to honor those who have served or are serving in the military. A day is not long enough to make up for the time veterans have given us and given of themselves but it is a dedicated day to say thank you. Say thank you to the veterans you know, to the ones you don’t and to the ones you have yet to meet.

For years the American Diabetes Association has used the month of November to raise awareness about the seriousness of diabetes and diabetes prevention and control. This November the American Diabetes Association will carry on this tradition but in addition they’re launching the national movement to “Stop Diabetes.”

Stop Diabetes is a movement that will encourage people across America to take action against this disease. You can support this movement by sharing your personal story about how diabetes has affected your life with others. Spread the word about the Stop Diabetes movement with your friends, family and coworkers.

Here are a few statistics about life and death with diabetes:
