 |
|
| A friend of mine was just in Baghdad, Iraq and is home on leave until Sept 5. His family is having a party for him so he can see family & friends before he leaves for Iraq for a year & then Germany for 2 years+. My question is, what kind of card (greeting card) do you get for that kind of event? Someone suggested "Thank You...for serving our country" but I don't know?????????And sorry if this is rthe wrong category, I don't think there is a category for greeting cards! |

| Get a nice looking blank card. One of those that has a nice photo or painting but is blank inside.Write him a heartfelt note that talks about your feelings. How you will miss him, how you hope he will come home safe... you get the idea.I promise you, he will cherish it. |

| I would go with a blank card and write him a note. This way you can express exactly what your thinking. |

| I think you're in the right section. You're asking about the proper thing to do in a social situation and if that ain't etiquette, I don't know what is!Anyway, I'm thinking a blank card may be the best answer for you, since this is actually several occasions in one: He's coming home, so it's Welcome back, he's leaving back out, so it's Bon Voyage and he's risking his butt for his country, so it's also a thank you. I would, personally, get one for each occasion (though I don't know if any greeting card company does any specifically for the military). If you can't find any that you really like, get a nice blank one and just write how you feel or find a nice poem to put in it. I'm sure he will appreciate whatever you do as long as it's from the heart. I would. |
