A letter is better but a card is nice too. Most of us personally know someone who has served and can easily locate them to send a mailing.
However, those who do not know anyone may need to be a little more inventive. Some easy ideas would be to make a sign and display it in the yard or on vehicle. This is not as personal, but will likely still be appreciated.
