I started developing the concept for Children of Heroes on Christmas
Eve, 2004, while watching stories of children who lost parents in war
zones. My heart bled for
these children and families. At
the same time, I felt it was time for us as Americans to do something
for these families. I feel
it is necessary to support them with both our words and our actions.
I believe, as caring American citizens and businesses we can do
more. I created Children of
Heroes to allow businesses to contribute to our heroes by selling our
patriotic products and to allow citizens to support our heroes by buying
these products.
I couldn’t sleep after watching the sad stories of our lost
heroes, so at 3:00am on Christmas Eve, I wrote the statement shown on
the Children of Heroes home page. Hopefully this will be my gift to those heroes who continue
to protect me, my family and my country.
May God bless them.
