Xerox is sponsering a card-drive for our troops... click a link, pick a card & enter a message (or select a pre-written message). Xerox will then print & mail the card to an active-duty troop stationed overseas.
May be a little cheesy, but it's an easy way to thank someone for their sacrifices, and I'm sure when you're a few thousand miles from home, stuck in the middle of a dessert being shot at, the gesture will be appreciated.
Here's the site - they've got a FAQ section that explains a lot more, but I've pasted the ones I was interested in below:

Q: What is Let's Say Thanks?
A: To honor U.S. military personnel and increase community morale, Xerox Corporation has created Let's Say Thanks, a national program designed to deliver millions of cards to servicemen and women overseas with messages of support from home.

If you would like to mail a postcard to a relative or personal friend, downloadable files are available of each design for you to send on your own.
Q: How long will it take for my postcard to reach the troops?
