Bless Our Soldiers!


The other day I received a request from a soldier stationed in the middle east.  He explained that he would be in the field for over a year and had a beautiful fiance at home who he loved so very much and could not wait to make her his wife. (he went on and on about how much she meant) He also explained as a surprise he would like to plan a romantic Caribbean honeymoon as a surprise.  He also mentioned that he could not give me exact dates that he would be coming back to the US but would like information on what was out there.  He also mentioned that money was tight for the time being as well.  Also letting me know that if he did not reply for a few days or so that the reason was probably because he was in the field. This brought tears to my eyes the love he has for America (you and I, strangers...) and the love and strong bond he and his fiance must share.  My Sandals Resorts Rep Joy sent me an email this morning with a program Sandals Resorts now has for our troops.  They have always offered military and active a discount on their Sandals Resorts vacation package.  Now they are offering to send personalized cards from us to our friends and family stationed abroad.  I am sending one to my Father's neighbors son who is stationed in Iraq.  This is amazing and one more reason I am in love with this resort brand!

If you have a loved one serving in the armed forces, and want to send them a FREE personalized folded card letting them know you’re thinking of them, then all you have to do is follow these 3 easy steps .
The first step is to choose from over 30 different images to go on the front of your folded card, and then to personalize the card by filling out the information to the right hand side. Afterwards, hit the “Continue” button. The second step is to create an account for security reasons. The last step is to click the link you’ll receive in your email registration and confirmation letter. Once that’s done, the USO will deliver your one-of-a-kind card to your recipient.
For a moment of your time, let that special someone know you’re thinking of them, and that they have your appreciation and support for the service they’re giving our country.
