While we enjoy the benefits of living in the greatest democracy in the world, we must be ever conscious of the fact that none of the achievements or freedoms enjoyed in America would be possible without the price that has been paid for by our servicemen and women. - Mark Kennedy, former US House of Representatives
(If you landed on my post you are in the middle of the hop...you might want to start from the beginning so you don't miss anything.)
You might know that "Cards for Heroes" became Operation Write Home just a few months back. This project has been a fantastic success getting handmade cards distributed to our service men and women throughout the world. Every donated card finds it way to some terrific soldiers who sacrifice their personal safety and the comfort of their own home to ensure our homeland safety. This hop is in honor of Veteran's Day... well I think we decided it's "Veteran's Week".. and why not? Our men and women in uniform deserve all the accolades we can give!
I first heard about Operation Write Home about 18 months ago and I was so impressed with this project that I had to jump in to honor to all of the personal heroes in my life. I started asking my fellow card-makers to donate their cards, card fronts and even help with shipping. The response was over-whelming. Here's a pic of just some of the cards I was able to collect. It's really easy.... just ask your circle of friends to help and you will be amazed at the outpouring.

This is such a heartening venture. Here in Canada, the painting guild I belong to also creates and sends cards for our troops. They range from painted, thru to stamped and embossed cards in every style imaginable and are received with great appreciation. It's such a little thing we can do for our heroes!
