Tweet a Burger

Here's something you can do to appropriately celebrate the holiday, and support the US military via Operation Homefront and Carnival Cruise Line. Carnival and Operation Homefront are holding the first “social media-powered BBQ” for military members.

Your role is to post messages of thanks or support to our military members on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook with the hashtag #ThankYouBurger

Carnival will put your message on a bun with a laser and they'll then put a burger on that bun and hand it to a service man or woman at a giant barbeque on July 5 on the Miramar Marine Corps Air Station. As the cruise line that sails the most military personnel, Carnival will also donate $1 (up to $25,000) for each post received with the hashtag.

So what are you waiting for? Tweet a burger or two to a Marine with a message of support. It's another great way to celebrate the Fourth.
