#WarriorWednesday

Happy Wednesday from Healing Heroes Network!   We hope everyone had a great, long Labor Day weekend, and that you are all enjoying your short work week!   

Wednesday falls smack dab in the middle of the week... some call it "Hump Day", and we all can relate to that feeling of restlessness that accompanies most Wednesday's throughout the long stretch of our hectic schedules. 

Introducing... #WarriorWednesday! 

#WarriorWednesday means many things to many different people and organizations.  But to Healing Heroes Network, it means taking an opportunity to remind ourselves that we have WARRIORS fighting for our country EVERY day.

We want to hear about the special Warriors in YOUR life!  Every Wednesday, we encourage you to send us an email telling us all about the loved one in your life who has served in the armed forces, is currently serving, or sacrificed their lives in service to our country.  Please send all emails to:  info@healingheroes.org.

Thank you so much for supporting our nation's Warriors, on Wednesday and EVERY day!

Happy Mother's Day!

All of us here at Healing Heroes Network would like to say Happy Mother's Day to the brave and strong women out there who are under the most special of circumstances...  

The women deployed, who are fighting for our country while missing their children at home.  The moms of soldiers and airmen, who worry day in and day out that their child is safe in the world.  

There are no amount of words that could express the appreciation and gratitude we have for these amazing women who make the ultimate sacrifice, despite their fears and anxiety of losing or missing their child.  

"The bravest battle that ever was fought; 
Shall I tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world
you will find it not
it was fought by the
mothers of men."

- Joaquin Miller

We hope that if you are lucky enough to be with your mom this Mother's Day, you will treat her like the Hero she is! Check out this fabulous Pinterest Board for some amazing gift and craft ideas she will be sure to love!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Sending our Heroes a taste of home with "Morale" packages

All of us at Healing Heroes Network truly have a passion for helping our nation's injured military personnel. We love what we do and are honored to be part of a team that strives to make a difference in the lives of our bravest and most deserving American heroes!  

One of our newest initiatives here at Healing Heroes Network is to help brighten the spirits of our troops who are stationed overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan.  This program started when one simple request was made by a soldier, Dustin N.,who is currently serving at Camp Linsey in Afghanistan.  Dustin wanted to find a way to "boost the morale" of his platoon.  He reached out to HHN when he heard of us through the Harley's For Heroes campaign on Facebook.  Even though he knew that sending "care packages" was not a service that we offered, he contacted us anyway, with the hope that we might be able to send his men some "comforts of home" to cheer them up and boost morale among his fellow soldiers...

We were so excited to receive this special request, and couldn't wait to help right away.  Not only did we purchase for his base soap, socks, deodorant, shampoo, magazines, toothpaste, candy, snacks, gum, and more, but we also sent them Harley's For Heroes t-shirts and merchandise.  Needless to say, our hunger to help didn't stop there...

We took this idea and RAN with it!  Since Dustin's first request, Healing Heroes Network is proud to have established the "Morale Package" program.  We have been lucky enough to supply several more bases overseas with goodies and comfort items from home.  While they make the ultimate sacrifice, fighting for our country and freedom, we hope that this small token of our gratitude will help to ease the pain of missing their home and loved ones.

If you know of a service member stationed overseas and would like us to send their base a "Morale Package", please give us a call at (727) 781-4376, message HHN on Facebook, or email to info@healingheroes.org with more information!

Happy Independence Day

In 1776, the United States took its first stand against tyranny and declared independence. Today our troops continue that fight, and will live and die defending freedom. While you're celebrating this day, don't forget about our brave service men and women who sacrifice so much for this country.

Healing Heroes Network wishes everyone a safe and happy 4th of July.
