We are excited to introduce Operation Hero Mail!
As we all know, many US military personnel are currently overseas serving our country. These brave men and women miss home terribly. For many, a letter from home means the difference between hope and despair. Correspondence from home is the MOST requested item from most military personnel. Sadly, many of those stationed overseas never receive regular correspondence from home.
A Muse has teamed up with Operation Troop Aid to put a handmade card of appreciation in the hands of as many deployed military men and women as possible. The mission of Operation Troop Aid is to make a positive difference and inspire deployed U.S. service members by letting them know America stands with them.
We have created several card-making kits that make it easy to create and contribute cards to this program. We’ll post the details tomorrow, so please stay tuned!
What a fabulous thing to do for our troops! My nephew just enlisted in the Marines and I will certainly be sending him lots of mail. These new stamps will be great!

How wonderful! I could never understand what they go through, the sacrifice, the fear, the loneliness...what a wonderful service to them for all they do for us! I'm happy to help!

This is great! I didn't know about this until reading the posts. What a great way to support and bring a little bit of home to our troops :)

Great idea. When my husband in oversea, he told me that mail time is the most exciting time of the week or months for soldiers.
Sometimes team leader and wives mail some goodies to single soldiers who more than likely receive a little less mail from family or friends.

I love this! DH is in the Navy and will be deploying just after the new year. Can't wait to get my hands on this new set.

I agree with everyone. What a great idea! I can't imagine being so far from home and loved ones. The troops do so much for all of us. And the stamps and notecards are great!
