A 10-year-old in Arizona named Stephen Goodman is spending his Summer helping every member of our military overseas. That's 180,000.
How? By making a handwritten greeting card for every single one of the American servicemen and women who are still overseas. Why?
I'm just doing it to make them feel good. Because it's not like anyone ever thanks them...maybe a couple people do, so I just wanted to change that and make it one person higher.
Stephen is cutting construction paper, putting on stickers, tying on ribbon, and writing messages like "Thank you for serving our country" or "You're giving us freedom" in every single one of the cards.
He's getting help from his grandfather, who is a Vietman vet:
What he's doing right now, the troops will sure feel real good just receiving something, knowing somebody here cares about them. We never got nothing like this.
Stephen is using his entire Summer to complete his goal.
