We wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of the Veteran's who have served our country past, present, and future.
Without the sacrifice of these brave men and women and their families we certainly would not enjoy the freedoms and liberties we have today.
We donated 5% of all sales on 11/11/11 to the following organization:

We recently heard an interview on NPR with the President of this organization, and they are doing great things to assist Veterans with housing, career development, and counseling. Let us know of any other organizations you feel are worth donating to. We take the care and support of our Veterans very seriously.
Here are some uplifting quotes to remind us of how important their sacrifice is to us.
Thank you!
