Daniel -

Far too many of our troops serving at home and abroad live in constant fear that those they love most will be deported.

Thanks to President Obama and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), they can rest easy.

In an extraordinary ruling last week, DHS announced it will halt the deportation of "spouses, children and parents of active-duty military members, reservists who may be called up as part of the 'Ready Force.'"

Over 50,000 veterans, military family members, and VoteVets supporters signed a petition urging the Washington to take action on immigration reform. And while we'll keep fighting for comprehensive action, this is a welcome victory.

Please sign our card thanking President Obama and Department of Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano and we'll deliver your well-wishes. You can do that here:

DHS argued that the constant threat of deportation put an unnecessary "stress and anxiety" on those who signed up to serve their country through military service.

That's right. And thanks to their action, a large portion of our force has something extra to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.

Thanks for standing with us in this fight. Your action matters.
