Governor asks students to write to troops

Governor M. Michael Rounds invites students to join him in planning special holiday mailings for troops deployed away from home.  The messages will be sent in time for St. Patrick’s Day and Easter. Students are encouraged to write newsy letters to troops telling them about their communities, schools, sports events, musicals, their families, and anything else they may wish to write about. 

In lieu of a letters, students may write a note on a St. Patrick’s Day card or an Easter card.  Similar mailings for Christmas and Valentine’s Day have resulted in large numbers of letters from students.  The Governor’s office packages and addresses the students’ messages and forwards them to South Dakota troops deployed away from home.

St. Patrick’s Day letters/cards should be sent to the Governor’s office by March 1, 2004; Easter letters/cards by April 2, 2004.
