Dear 72-Hour Holiday Campaign Participants:

Congratulations are in order! The Spirit of America family has shown its support and resolve in these tough economic times by matching the $20,000 pool in less than 72 hours. Please don't stop there-we are still taking year-end donations and will do so until 2008 is no more. But as of today, and thanks to you, we will end our calendar year with at least an additional $40,000 to be used for important troop-generated projects in Afghanistan, Iraq and Africa.

Thanks so much to our initial anonymous donor who got the ball rolling, the other generous donors who matched his challenge, and also to the many, many individuals who contributed over the past few days to meet the challenge and raise the additional $20,000.

The strength of Spirit of America is you, our donors, who recognize the innovative qualities of our mission and support our troops in their efforts to bring peace, stability and freedom to Afghanistan, Iraq and Africa. They contact us frequently to let us know how your gifts translated into life-changing projects. Their messages overflow with praise and gratitude. So, on their behalf, we at Spirit of America thank each and every one of you for your ongoing generosity.
