Welcome to the Operation Write Home World Cardmaking Day Blog Hop!! I am thrilled you have stopped in today. If you don’t know them already, Operation Write Home has sent over a million cards to our heroes overseas. Yes, over a MILLION cards! Wow! These cards are available to the heroes so they can write home to their loved ones. We all know that there is nothing like a hand-made card and one made for the heroes shows how much we care about them. All the details about the organization are available on their website as are the rules about the cards (ie, no glitter, A-2 size, etc).
Many of my readers already know that I served in the Air Force for 10 years as a pilot. My husband was also Active Duty Air Force and still serves in the West Virginia Air National Guard as a C-5 pilot. One of my husband’s favorite parts of his job is bringing critical supplies to the front line troops. I feel like I can help a little by shipping some morale to those heroes via Operation Write Home. The burden on the military family is great and communication home is critical. Cards from loved ones are truly priceless and I am proud to be able to contribute in a small way.
I will be back on Monday with some more specifics on this card since I know you have lots more cards to go see! Make sure you click on the banner at the top of the post to get to the whole hop. Thanks for stopping in today. As you celebrate World Cardmaking Day, make sure you create a few for the heroes!
