I have always enjoyed making cards to give as gifts and once I found Operation Write Home, I had a mission and set some goals for myself. At first, I thought I'd like to ship 100 cards. OK. I did that. I didn't think my next shipment would add up to much but it turned out I made 50 cards in only 3-4 days. So now my goal is to make and mail 50 or more cards per month.
The Operation Write Home web site provides the card makers an area where we can read feedback from service members who receive the cards. Tonight, after reading some particularly touching messages, I am happier than ever that OWH serves as a clearing house so that heroes serving overseas have handmade cards to send home to family and friends.
Several parents mentioned how much their kids enjoy getting cards from them, so I am going to focus my energies on creating a number of child friendly cards in addition to my usual thank you, miss you, and thinking of you cards.
