For Reba Webster Hollingsworth, writing her own son in the military is only the tip of the iceberg. Hollingsworth and other military moms in Waco, Texas, regularly make cards to send to soldiers they've never met. The handwritten letter may be a throwback in the age of text messages and e-mail, but this group has a page on Yahoo and even a MySpace profile. Weekend America's Alex Cohen asks Hollingsworth why she started this project and what it means to her.
