BIN LADEN IS DEAD... Thank our TROOPS event

 If you haven't heard already, Osama Bin Laden is DEAD!!!
He is responsible for the THOUSANDS of mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, Aunt, Uncles, grandparents, friends... who were killed on 9-11. This is a victory to US Troops and those who lost a loved one due to the terrorist Bin Laden. 
I have started a Face Book group and ask for EVERYONE to make a card to THANK OUR TROOPS!!!  I ask that we post them on our blogs and Face Book on Friday, May 6, 2011. This gives everyone a couple days to make one. 
I am soo PROUD to be an AMERICAN!! 

I can remember when I was a child and my dad went to Desert Shield/Storm. We ( 2 little sisters and 1 brother)  only had contact with my dad via snail mail. We watched as my mom cried every night .. not really understanding the seriousness of it all. As an adult, I understand my mother's tears. 
THANK YOU to EVERY service man and woman and their families!!! 
Hugs, 
Tanya
