My daughter served in the United States Army for 5 long years. During both of her deployments overseas, there were many conversations about the mail. And believe me, in all of them she expressed that every piece of mail they receive from home is precious to them.
It mattered not, if the soldiers never knew or met the sender. Even though they know their families loved and missed them and were naturally very proud of them, still, in many respects, home to a soldier is considered Anywhere, USA. Notes of encouraging words,
gratitude or acknowledgement coming from anyone, would sometimes become the turning point of their day. I could say so much more about this, but the post would be very long. So, let's get right today's shop of the day.....
In this shop, patriotic cards are created to encourage Patriotism and Appreciation for our Troops and their Families. Also to generate an increased passion for the precious freedom that we experience in this great country; and the price that our dedicated Troops and their Families pay each and every day.
Here, you will find a creative variety of ways to say Thank You, Miss You, and God Bless America. In addition to selling on the website, this shop owner donates Patriotic Cards to non-profit organizations. Cards are currently being sold in non-profit gift shops on military bases at Ft. Leavenworth (KS); Ft. Hood (TX); Ft. Lewis (WA); Pearl Harbor Naval Station (HI); and at my local hospital and senior citizens center.
I hope you have a look around her special shop and become inspired to send something special to someone. It will mean more than you could ever know. And in addition you will also be supporting non-profit organizations right here at home too.
In the spirit of our country's determination that "We Will Never Forget" and as a tribute to the men and women serving our country we make...
OUR SHOP OF THE DAY
