As we approach the Memorial Day Weekend, we remember the courageous men and women who volunteered--and sacrificed-- to defend our freedom in times of peace and in times of war. We would like to share with you this touching tribute by The Texas Tenors.
Let's also remember the heroes who are currently serving.

Do you have a loved one who is deployed overseas?  Click here and we will send them an Operation Gratitude care package.

For those of you who want to honor someone serving far from home today, please consider writing a letter of appreciation.  We will send your kind words in our next round of care packages.
To our deployed Troops, Veterans, Wounded Warriors, New Recruits, Military Families and First Responders:
Thank you for all that you do to make our Nation great. God bless you, and God bless the U.S.A.

With appreciation,
Operation Gratitude
