Welcome to everyone that is here from the Operation Write Home (OWH) Blog Hop.
If you want to start at the beginning go here.
This is my first blog hop and I am more than excited.
I found OWH after my son made me a military mom. After you become a military mom some things that were small on your list become big on you list. When our son was deployed to Iraq, mail became a big thing on my list. I thought if I can get some of “home” to my son in the mail it would somehow make everything better. So I made a lot of visits to our post office.
If you talk to the many men or women serving in our armed forces they will tell you the connection to home is one of the most important things to them while they are away. That is what the OWH group is all about, making a big difference in a small way. CARDS. We not only send card to the soldiers to thank them and tell them we love them and are praying for them but the main job of this group is to make handmade cards for the soldiers to send back home to the ones they love. Read all about OWH here.

I hope by now you have a tug at you heart to want to help.
If you are a card maker, start making cards here is the info you need.
If you don’t craft you can still help just look here.
But more importantly one thing we can all do daily, PRAY for our HEROES and their family back home.

You will be so impressed with the Joscie beautiful work and her beautiful family. Check out her photography, it is amazing. Joscie is a military wife so she too knows first hand how important the connection back home can be. Thank you Joscie for the sacrifice you and your family make for our freedom.
And I have saved the best for last, this is our hero, the one I do this for, my son. He has just deployed again last weekend. Please remember him and his flight.

ReplyDeleteYou can be so proud, thank you for 'sharing' your son with the rest of the country. Lovely cards, and thanks for hopping. I haven't hopped in too many events like this either and was nervous to do everything right.
ReplyDeleteThis 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! I'll be thinkin' of your son and all the others and sending good, warm thoughts and love for them to come safely home.

ReplyDeleteYou are doing such a great job. I sent a pkg. of cards to the Seattle address last week, one for any Hero and the rest for the men and women in uniform to use to send home to their loved ones. We all need to do our part. I have two grandsons in the service and we have two sons who are now retired from the Air Force. All Americans need to support our young men and women.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless America! and the support of our families, friends, and those whom we've never met who continue to pray for our soldiers near and far. Our soldiers are there for all of us and I think it's great to see yet another special person giving a way for us to do something small for those who do something so BIG every day!
