Operation Thank You
Operation Thank You is a heartfelt letter-writing campaign dedicated to giving every American the opportunity to express gratitude to our nation’s heroes. Founded by Mary Kohaut, a passionate volunteer with years of experience supporting nonprofit organizations with similar missions, Operation Thank You was inspired by her deep connections to the military and first responder communities.
​
Mary’s vision is simple yet powerful—to ensure that every American hero knows they are appreciated. Each letter collected through Operation Thank You is donated to Operation Gratitude, where it will reach the hands of service members, veterans, first responders, and their families. A small act of kindness, a few words of thanks, can make a world of difference.

Join us in showing appreciation to those who serve and sacrifice. Write a letter today and be part of the mission to spread gratitude, one note at a time.
We believe in the power of gratitude and the impact of a simple thank you. We strive to inspire individuals to embrace the act of appreciation, define a culture of gratitude, and change the lives of American Heroes.
