It is hard to believe that we are halfway through January, and the year is 2010! I would like to thank those of you who have followed this site and the Walmart Gives Back holiday giving campaign, as Walmart and the Walmart Foundation reached out to our communities and military families this holiday season. We have received many heartfelt notes, sharing with us the impact that our holiday giving had on our communities, as well as our military families and their children. One of the most touching thank you notes we received was from a soldier that was about to deploy. He shared with us that the gift we gave was more than simply a gift card, it was the memory that he would carry with him of his children opening their gifts on Christmas morning. As we partnered with Operation Homefront, Wreaths Across America and more than 1000 associate volunteers, we were able to help make the holidays a little brighter. Taking the spirit of giving into the New Year, we hope you will continue to look for opportunities to give back to your communities throughout the year. I am attaching a link to footage on the Wreaths Across America program that I think you will enjoy.
Thank you again for following our work, my best to all of you this New Year.
