BuildASign.com™ Donates 20,000 Banners to Supporters of US Troops at Home and Abroad

Austin, TX — November 10, 2008

In honor of Veteran’s Day, BuildASign.com™ is re-launching its banner giveaway to help 20,000 more Americans show their support for the US armed forces. With this donation, BuildASign.com™ will provide military families all over the country with personalized banners for their homecoming and holiday celebrations while encouraging businesses to create banners that show their support for our troops.

BuildASign.com™ is also giving away jumbo holiday cards to families whose service members won’t be home in time for the holidays. These families can send personalized jumbo holiday cards to loved ones overseas for less than the cost of shipping a banner. Both free banners and free jumbo cards are available to everyone at www.BuildASign.com/Troops.

“We received such an amazing response from our original banner giveaway in July that we had to find a way to re-launch the campaign. Now, after making some capital improvements to our production process, we’re ready to give away twice as many banners as before. We’re also giving away jumbo holiday cards that families can more easily ship to their loved ones overseas.” — Andy Knopp, Sr. Operations Manager at BuildASign.com™

All products offered at www.BuildASign.com/Troops are 100% customizable. Users can simply choose from one of the 12 designs on the page, personalize their banner or jumbo card using BuildASign.com™’s proprietary online designer, and checkout securely.

Through the landing page, military families and friends can also enjoy heavy discounts on many of BuildASign.com™’s popular holiday gift products like magnetic bumper stickers, custom parking signs and personalized license plates. The offer is limited to one free product per order and does not include the cost of shipping. This donation cannot be combined with any of BuildASign.com™’s other promotional offers and will end when all 20,000 banners have been given away.

Applebee’s salutes the Military

I received an email from another Alabama CTL with information about Applebee’s salute to our military for this upcoming Veterans Day:

Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar restaurants invite all active duty and veterans to one of 164 participating restaurants nationwide to pull up a chair for a delicious meal and heartfelt thanks this Veterans Day. With gratitude for their service and sacrifice, active duty and veterans will eat free at participating locations on Veterans Day (November 11, 2008) during regular business hours.

Veterans and active duty with proof of United States military service will be able to go to one of the participating Applebee’s and select one complimentary entrée from a selection of delicious favorites: a savory House Sirloin, hearty Riblet Basket, zesty Fiesta Lime Chicken®, a juicy Quesadilla Burger or fresh Oriental Chicken Salad. All the traditional sides are included.

“It’s an honor to host an event that helps the neighborhood come together and say thanks to our veterans and active servicemen and women,” said Mike Archer, President, Applebee’s Services, Inc..

Proof of military service includes:

• U.S. Uniform Services Identification Card
• U.S. Uniform Services Retired Identification Card
• DD214
• LES
