Apparently there's this American-history based treasure hunt/quiz/puzzle game thing online: http://www.thanksusa.org/main/index.html
The purpose of the whole affair is the raise money for scholarships for families of US troops. It's free to participate, although they hope you'll donate. There are actually some cool prizes - including a Disney World/Universal trip.
I post this not to debate soldier support (at least not in this forum), but because I thought it was potentially interesting. Actually, the idea was apparently by two sister, 8 and 10 years old. And it's spiraled into this federally and corporate sponsored to-do being mentioned on a nightly newscast near you. I think it's neat when kids actually follow through on their nifty ideas and get support from adults.
