A reciprocating link. Sending E-mail to Military personnel
To date more than 35,000 pairs of slippers have been distributed to Members of the US military. Such a small act of kindness & thanks from one person, does not merely thank the service member who receives a pair of handcrafted slippers. It lifts Morale, when they are so far from their homes, It shows them that they are not forgotten in their dedicated service to keep our Homeland safe.
**Many Links contained in our pages are reciprocating links, Placed here in Thanks of an effort put forth from them, to help us with postage, advertising, supplies. etc.
Any views that they may have are their own. This is a charitable project, An effort to send Handmade Hugs to American Military Personnel, serving their Nation in Protecting their fellow citizens. Our efforts are entirely born of our hearts & in no way are we connected with any political agenda.
