Thank you for doing your part to help ease the heart ache of the families that have paid a mu...

It really made our day and we're proud to share it with you.) -------------------------- I recently received an email about the...

I ordered your bracelets for his parents, his siter and for me. They were all pretty thrilled to get them and we’ve all vowed to wear them till he comes home. We’re thinking of making a chain of all the bracelets for him when he gets home. I get to talk to email him once in a while and told him about us all wearing his name on our...
