For my Dad

Spotlight Saturday:

Remember our Heroes!

Today I'm going to be a bit personal today and I hope you don't mind.

My Dad was in the Army and during that time he had a terrible accident with a shell bomb...

And ever since he is handicapped and traumatized from it. But even then our Rock to lean on!

 But my dear Dad is taken to the hospital on last Monday. And suddenly we realized that the Strong Rock we all rely on isn't as strong as we thought.

Now you wonder why I tell you all this.... 

Well, there are many men and boys all over the world that became handicapped or traumatized by any war or peace operation.

We see them every day and we easily forget their trauma or pain. 

I want to ask you to be more aware of this and just sent a card to a family member or acquaintance from who you know was in the Military and pay them a tribute with a card or project. Let's remember the veterans too!!!

And even now the American and Dutch boys are trying to get peace overseas.

 And I'm so glad and proud that 

this weeks challenge at Michelle Perkett Studio blog is dedicated to:

And I want to invoke all you creative and crafty people to join our CHALLENGE

and go to

 THE SITE of OWH 

and sent as many cards as you can to the shippers that can be found on their site.

They are requesting Christmas Cards, Thinking of you cards, Miss you cards.

I made this card with the image from Michelle Perkett Studio.

She is called Angel of Hope.

You can find her HERE

So let's get together and make sure that we pay a tribute at the men and boys out there...

and let them know that we appreciate what they are doing and that we think of them and pray that they will come home save!

Thanks for reading this and I hope that you all make a contribution to

Operation Write Home and our Challenge!

With love
