This year since Veteran’s Day falls on a Sunday, many businesses are offering freebies both on Sunday (November 11) and on Monday when the nation will “officially” observe the holiday.

Nestled in among the taller buildings of downtown Tacoma, Washington is a true gem. Not a diamond in the rough, this gem is highly polished!

In the beginning, 2MyHero was all about creating greeting cards for family and friends of military personnel. Cards to send to sons, daughters, nieces, nephews and friends while they were on deployment or stationed far away. Cards that would help civilians stay connected with their military loved one despite the physical distance. As we’ve grown, the kinds of cards […]
