Welcome Home from Service - Navy
May 2nd, 2008, 10:48am
 
I am looking for ... a Welcome Home from the Navy card.  My nephew is coming home after 5 years of service and two deployments to Iraq!  I am looking for something that expresses my pride in him and his service, my happiness and gratefulness that he is finally home safe and sound - BUT no "pro-War" or "G-d Bless America" or zealous/syrupy patriotic tone.  I appreciate your efforts in this very much!  
 
 
The shopper will find these cards in this category

Hi Mindy ... I have one specifically for Navy that I was going to submit for Memorial/Veteran's Day.  Will submit it in the next hour or so and let you know the ID #.  Will keep it to the customer's sentiment of Welcome Home.  Thanks!  -- Teri

Hi Mindy,
I was not planning to do more cards today, but when I saw this request well, I just had to do it.  I was touched by the shopper.  I have one pending #189911.
Thank you.

Hi Mindy, and good afternoon to you.  I have #189931 pending for this one.
My husband is retired military so these kind of cards always pique my interest.
I was just working on a 'Military Retirement' when this request came in, so guess I'll go finish that one.   Roll Eyes

Tammy,
We've approved that one although it's not Navy specific so the shopper will not see if via the link we've already provided them.  Can you make another similar that's Navy specific and put it in the Navy subcat?
 
Post back when it's in w/ pid so we can expedite it.

I did a Navy specific one as well for this request. It is pending approval. This was a very touching one for me. I know exactly how he feels as we experienced the same emotions with my younger brother & nephew. So glad his loved one came home safely. 189945

Hi Mindy,
 
Thanks for letting us know about requested card sales!  My mom has been very ill the last few weeks, so I haven't been keeping up on emails and sales.  So this follow-up is greatly appreciated, and we sometimes wonder if the special request cards sell ... they do!  And they have continued selling potential as well.   Grin
 
Big THANKS to the customer who bought this card if you're reading the forums!  The commissions on this and all my other military and "Support Our Troops" will be donated to the Eastern Paralyzed Veteran's Association (I think they are now called United Spinal Association -  http://www.unitedspinal.org/ )... it's a terrific organization that helps wounded war vets re-adjust to life at home with physical and vocational rehabilitation.  So, three cheers to GCU and the customer for helping this very worthy cause!  In addition to my regular contributions, I will match the total commissions earned on these cards and send it to them at the end of the year as a gift from GCU.  I still hope we can work on developing connections between our great Artists here and the causes and organizations that they support.  
 
Congrats to Kathy as well!  Good job to all the artists who worked on this one ... there are still many young men and women returning home, and I'm sure there will many sales from the Welcome Home from Service category in the future.  Good luck and many sales to all!    Smiley
