I am participating in the first ever Cards For Heroes Blog Hop. What a perfect weekend to hold such an event as we all celebrate Memorial Day. Those of you who know me or follow my blog know that I have a strong love for our men and women who serve our country. My brother and my husband both served in the Army. My Uncle Wayne was in the Coast Guard for over 25 years, my Uncle Jim made his career in the Navy and his son Jimmy served in both the Navy and the Air Force. I've posted here before about Corporal Kevin Lowe, United States Marine Corps, who is like a second son to me. He just returned home from his tour of duty in Iraq this past March. I wish I had a photo to share of each of my family members that have served our country. I think I'll make a point to do that and post some photos of them in uniform.
CardsForHeroes is a non-profit group whose mission is to send blank handmade greeting cards to our troops so they will have cards to send back home to their family and friends.
Please visit the website and read some of the inspiring stories and then join us on Saturday, May 23rd for the blog hop!

Wow, what a wonderful history your family has with service to our country! I'm enjoying the blog hop and want to thank you for supporting our heroes. My US Marine son is based at Camp Pendleton, currently serving in Iraq.

I'm trying to do my little bit for CFH. I have added a link to this blog hop and embedded the CHF youtube video on my blog. I hope it brings many more people to participate in this wonderful group.
Thanks for all you do!
thanks for sharing your stories of veterans in your family. My husband was in the Coast Guard before we met. THey are all heroes!
As a veteran myself it's wonderful to read the story you posted of so many family members all serving our country. Please thank them ALL for their service.
Thanks for participating in the hop. I read about your 'son' Kevin and realized that he is not far from where I live in CA. Camp Pendleton is perhaps 6 miles from us.
God bless and lots of prayers go with him on his journeys.

Hey Monica! I think this is great! Maybe one weekend we can all get together and make up a bunch of these cards and send them off. Let's try and plan something :)
We missed seeing your card, but I appreciate hearing about your family's military history! Thanks for being a stop on the hop!
