Cards for Heroes

Cards for Heroes, Charleston, SC   

Every year I order 1,000 holiday greeting cards and set up tables in our hospitals and health system invited staff to write a message of gratitude to be distributed to service members on active duty during the holidays.

The Red Cross does the leg work for us but all day I am touched by the meaningful messages written on these cards. Thank you ladies and gentleman in the military. We appreciated your service.

Each year I order 1,000 and spread them out around our hospital facilities. Employees stop and write a holiday message for active duty service members and the cards are delivered to the Red Cross to be distributed at the holidays. Everyone seems willing to participate and it is very moving to read some of the heartfelt messages. Thank you to all our veterans and service members and to my volunteers for staffing the table and making the projects work each year.

My veteran volunteers rally on Veteran's Day and we invite people to write greetings on holiday cards to be distributed to active duty military during the holiday season by the Red Cross. It was a day full of handshakes, back slaps and hugs for these gentlemen. I imagine that each one of these men's lives would make an interesting action tale for a book. Thanks to all our veterans today and every day.

Veteran's Day seemed like the right time to participate in the Red Cross Cards for Heroes program. I rallied my volunteers who I knew were veterans themselves and between us all we wrote holiday messages on 1,000 cards to be delivered to active military during the holidays. Watching other retired service men and women stop by and share stories with these gentlemen was quite emotional. Thank you Veterans.

Veteran's Day - Thanks Mum!
