Christmas is a Time for Giving Blog Hop

12/6/2012

The holidays are upon us and it really is a time for giving to others. To help celebrate Pearl Harbor Day and the many sacrifices our warriors, soldiers and military have given for us, I am donating a minimum of $30 to the Wounded Warrior Foundation. But you can make me donate much MORE! All you have to do over the next two days is leave a comment and for each comment, I will donate $1 to the cause.

Currently my brother-in-law is serving in Texas at the hospital where many of these young men come back to in order to be fitted with the prosthesis that becomes their new best friend. I'm also very proud that my Great Grandfather and father served in the military along with two great Uncles who gave their lives. Who are your heroes? Those men are mine!

This blog hop is going on with many of the Secret Cravings Publishing authors so each time you visit one of our sites and comment, then the donation goes up! Just think...for all your time on the computer (if you are like me, it's probably too much), you are doing something to help someone else. The authors are promised to donate over $600 to the organization! :)

And for being so generous, I am giving away four $5 Amazon gift cards to four people who leave comments on the blog over these two days! All you have to do is leave a comment with your email address to be entered.

But don't stop there. You should also check out the other Secret Cravings Authors and increase their donations. Let's see just how much we can make for the Wounded Warrior Program! List of SCP bloggers can be found here:

Thank you for your support!!
