• After you've watched it, for 5 extra credit points, create a card thanking a soldier in Iraq for all that they do. I will be mailing these overseas next week. You may address it to no one in particular or you may address it to my friends Merc or Jen.
• create 2 cards and get 10 extra credit points.
• create 3 cards and you do it out of the kindness of your heart b/c you truly do wish to thank the soldiers over in Iraq for fighting for your freedom, not because you're going to get more extra credit!

Happy Friday!!!
