OPERATION WRITE HOME Blog Hop

Welcome to this stop on the
BLOG HOP



(If you didn't get here from Karen's blog, go here to start at the beginning. I'm sure you don't want to miss out on any of the eye candy.)


* * * * *
Just look at the joy on this HERO's face.


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.
This kind of selfishness is A-OK.

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.







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.
