Dear Officer Kids (OK's),
During and after the Red Shield Appeal a lot of people will be thanked for volunteering their time to collect for The Salvation Army. While we appreciate and value the contribution of Corps and Community members, I want you to know how much we appreciate and value YOU!

I see your photos on Facebook out collecting with mum and dad and with other teams. I see how many days you are at shopping centres, how many kilometres you walk (or are pushed in a pram), and how many hours you spend on intersections.
I see how tired you look at the end of the Red Shield Appeal weekend with the knowledge you have to do it all again the following week.
I want you to know that you are the real heroes of the Red Shield Appeal!
Because of your presence, your parents are able to give the hours they do throughout the entire Red Shield Appeal.
Because of your participation, your parents are able to collect the amount of money needed by the Red Shield Appeal.
While everyone else is being rightfully thanked for their efforts, I want to personally thank YOU! On behalf of Salvation Army Officers everywhere who have AWESOME kids just like you, I want you to know we couldn't do it without YOU! To Officer Kids everywhere...THANK YOU!!
With love and appreciation,
A grateful Dad and Corps Officer
