Operation Write Home

Operation Write Home provides a touching way to support America's armed forces by turning volunteers into makers of greeting cards.  The handmade cards are blank on the inside and meant to encourage a note home to family or letters to friends.  

People all around the world are participating.  And card makers are nearing a million card milestone.   Operation Write Home makes it easy to volunteer because people can create from the comfort of their own homes.

For those who are intimidated by making personal greeting cards, there are other ways to help out Operation Write Home.  Click the link to find out more.

Tunes for Troops: a gift of music

Kaylee Marie Radzyminski found a meaningful way to support the troops.  She began by collecting music for military personnel serving overseas because she had learned through contacts about the voracious appetite for good entertainment.  Her efforts yielded nearly 500 CDs in very little time.

Tunes 4 the Troops evolved from Kaylee Marie's original desire to find a unique way to help out.

As of January 21st, 2011, Tunes 4 the Troops has sent over 810,771 CDs and DVDs overseas with a value of more than $13.5 million dollars.

Kaylee Marie was eventually spotlighted as a CNN Hero.
