A New York-based group is urging citizens to support Rescue Airmen serving in Iraq , Afghanistan and elsewhere this holiday season.

A statement from organizer Thomas Riedl said, "People can now wish Rescue Airmen a happy holiday in a creative new way: by painting greeting cards with their voices. They can do this online for free at www.thanks4giving.us where software, called Speak2Paint Cards, is accessible and lets people make paintings by talking or singing into a microphone. Kodak Gallery, a supporter of the program, will be printing and sending cards that people make to the 106th Rescue Wing Charitable Organization that will distribute them to Rescue Airmen and their children and families. This is all part of the Thanks4giving Program being led by VisiSound Technologies."

Mr. Riedl said the program allowed Americans to show their appreciation for a group he felt did not get enough.
