Celebrate Hug a G.I. Day by Sending a Soldier a Magazine Subscription
Each year on March 4th citizens around the U.S. participate in Hug a G.I. Day, a day to show appreciation to service members in the U.S. military.
(Vocus/PRWEB ) March 4, 2009 -- Since 1996 Americans have recognized March 4 as Hug a G.I. Day to honor U.S. service members. The date March 4 is a great day to recognize the sacrifice and commitment of U.S. service members because it is the only date on the calendar that is a military command, "march forth" according to the tribute day's inventor, Adrienne Koopersmith, a Chicago-based cartoonist and writer.
