I just learned about this great program brought to you by NEA-Blue Star Museums. Over 600 museums will offer free admission to military members and/or their families. There are museums participating in all 50 states.  You can check out all of the information on participating location by clicking here.

The Zac Brown Band has teamed with Ram Trucks for “Letters for Lyrics.”  Here is how it works.

1. Write a letter to a deployed service member

2. Take it to a participating Dodge dealer. Click here to find a local dealer.

3. You receive a copy of the CD Breaking Southern Ground

The goal is to reach 1,000,000 letters. The current count listed on the web-site is 4,800. Help support this great cause and show our military members how much we support them with a hand written letter.
