Is that not the coolest thing!!
How would you like to be responsible for this type of happiness?
You don't have to fly overseas to make this happen.
Just make a few extra cards to send overseas for our HERO's to send to their friends and family.
It can't be any easier than that.
If you are reading this blog, odds are you like to craft. So making these cards would be sorta selfish.
Now my nephew is in the COAST GUARD. I am proud of him.
His brother will go into the MARINES in October. I am proud of him.
.
.
I made these cards FOR the HERO's who are out there defending freedom.
.
I am able to feel safe in my home because of the bravery of these wonderful AMERICANS.
It doesn't seem like enough to send a little card to thank them for their hard work and sacrifice, but I am going to send them because they need to know that their efforts are appreciated.
.

.
.
I am sending these thank you cards with a note inside each one to a HERO that I haven't met.
I am sending them along with 100 blank cards that I made and packaged up.
.
To support our nation's armed forces by sending blank handmade greeting cards to write home on, as well as cards of gratitude to encourge them.

There are deadlines for sending cards for the various Holidays throughout the year. All the guidelines are listed on their website. You can visit the blog here.

I am a NAVY brat. My dad retired from the NAVY before I got out of high school. But not before we moved around a bit. I cherish the experiences I had because of his commitment to the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. He sacrificed a lot to go out there and do the things he did.

Everyone should remember to thank the heroes who choose/chose to serve their nation and their family members who are often moved repeatedly throughout their lives in support of their loved ones serving. Thank you to your dad and your nephews for their service to this country. God bless all of our armed services members; those who continue to serve, those who have in the past, and on this Memorial Day weekend especially - those who made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom!
I didn't want to tack on "really great cards: at the end of what is my honest and sincere thoughts on the armed forces.
That said, these are grand and will be happily welcomed by the heroes. I think we'll see lots more big smiles on their faces like the photo you included.
These are awesome! I am proud of your family serving as well. We all should be. Your cards will be well received as they come from the heart!
Great post and GREAT cards! Thank you and all your family...

What sweet cards. . . I enjoyed what you shared, too--thank you.
Great cards! I love the idea of tucking a note inside each one.
Please give your personal Hero's my heartfelt THANKS for their service. The USA is the home of the Free because of the Brave! They all need to know that they are remembered, honored and appreciated by those they have never met. That's why I, also, send Any Hero cards along with each box of blank cards that I send to OWH! My OWH box sits right next to my crafting counter.
Thanks for being part of the hop,

OK I love your blog because we are twinners today :) I came here to hop and look at your blog and now I have fed turtles and looked at the halloween countdown (holy cow) and there are just way too many other fun things here! I used to know some friends who would say "I can't know." when they didn't know or care what you were asking them about . . . lol. . . so I can't wanna makes perfect sense to me. Great to meet you!
Lovely cards. I like the bg you used on the cards and the little pitcher with the flag and flower is just adorable. TFS
Love your great background- I really like the thought of putting a note in each card- great images. Fantastic Blog hop! TFS

Wonderful cards. Thanks for your sentiments and your efforts. If we all do what we can do, we can make a difference in many lives.
Great cards! Thanks for supporting such a wonderful organization!
Hi Jana Sweetie...
I am Country Wings your newest follower. I absolutely adore these beautiful cards that you have designed and made for the OWH soldiers. My fav is the pitcher with the flag and flowers, so beautiful and country. How wonderful they will feel when they reach in the box and find your gifts of love.
Thank you for inspiring me to create some. I have never made a card but this blog hop has so inspired me. I have been shut in for a month and have another 2 weeks before the Dr.s will allow me outside. I am having issues with my lungs and chronic asthma on top of it.
I am finding this is something that I could do from my recliner. I am so excited. I am going to search the house today and see if I can find a few materials to get started. Thank you for the inspiration.
Please stop by and say hi. I would be so honored if you signed up to follow my blog as well.
Country hugs sweetie...Sherry
Beautiful cards! I love the stamped images you used- so sweet!
cute card! thanks for sharing.
Beautiful cards. TFS
One of my heroes is sitting right next to me and I'm thankful for him. He was wounded in VietNam but that doesn't stop him from doing everything a normal person can do. The other two heroes are my two nephews now deployed in Iraq.
Thanks for making cards for our heroes.
