Richard is a Vietnam Veteran who served in The United States Navy. He is a wonderful man who supplies these cards free for the asking. I made a small donation to him, asked for 100 cards for a charity I am running and received more than I asked for.

Three of the Vietnam Vets I gave these to openly and unashamedly cried. All of them hugged me and told me they had never, in well over 30 years, even been thanked let alone given something like these cards. The W.W.II Vets put their arm around my shoulders in that special, fatherly way they have, give my shoulders a squeeze and said thank you. Cold War Vets and Vets of the current War On Terror still have so much fresh, buried in their minds that they couldn't really talk. They shook my hand, gave me a big grin and huge hugs.

I have given out a lot of these cards. They really make a Veteran's day just like the one did to me when I got mine!

To my fellow Veterans You Are My American Hero!
