CNN Robin Meade offers way to Salute to Troops

As simple as creating an online greeting card. Create a "Salute to Troops" you can e-mail to your military loved one.

Every weekday morning on HLN's "Morning Express," anchor Robin Meade and her team do a shout-out to U.S. troops by showing off photos and videos sent in by their loved ones. Tune in every hour between 6 and 10 a.m. to see the salutes on air, or click through the archives on this page.

A mortar attack in Iraq in 2006 shattered Marine Sergeant Kenny Lyons' jaw, and cost him his leg. He says his mother never left his side while he recovered. So, he surprised her, by asking HER to cut the ribbon when he got the keys to his new house. Which was built in less than FOUR DAYS and comes mortgage-free, thanks to "Homes for our Troops." They build specially equipped homes for injured vets.

  2. Thank you for your service Tommy. Since we they are not about to bring the troops home now, I think taking care of them right now, today, is the least we can do for them but we aren't that very well either.
