Operation Heartstone

Katy thought you might like to learn more about Liz Jackson and Operation Heartstone. From Liz's website:

Operation HeartStone is a tradition that dates back to Desert Storm. This time around, there are over 10,000 HeartStones being carried by troops deployed around the world, as well as their families and friends. FRG's and FSG's have gotten them from me and distributed them to troops and families, chaplains have handed them out to deploying troops...people have given them to total strangers in uniform. Soldiers and sailors have given them to their wives and parents before shipping out.

Each and every HeartStone is handmade by a military mom, and every HeartStone is sent with a prayer from a military mom.

To participate take your HeartStone to your chaplain or family clergy to be blessed, once this is done, the HeartStone is carried in the breast pocket over your heart to remind you of hearts left behind during military deployment.

Whenever you think of home or have a quiet moment, hold the HeartStone and rub it on your uniform, this will cause it to shine.

Take care of your heart, make efforts to see that your heart comes home intact...but, be advised that once home you must hand over your HeartStone to the one whose heart held you closest during your deployment.
