"Messages of Support," a daily section debuting March 17, will give family and friends of deployed service members a chance to pass their greetings, words of encouragement and announcements free of charge. "In the past few weeks, we've received a significant number of e-mail messages from spouses, parents, friends and others trying to get in contact with their loved ones serving in the Persian Gulf region. Running messages from folks on the home front seemed like a natural extension of our mission," said Stars and Stripes Publisher Thomas Kelsch. "Messages of Support" can be e-mailed to Stars and Stripes 24 hours a day at messages@xxxxxxxxxxxx, are limited to 50 words or less and will be printed on a first-come, first-run basis. Stars and Stripes reserves the right to screen and edit all messages and to omit any determined inappropriate. Fran Bott Kidtech, Inc.
