Send in your veteran’s photo for free ornament
This is a nice way to thank and remember a veteran near and dear to your heart this holiday season.
Grand Valley Blue Star Mothers are inviting all Grand Valley military families to submit a photo of their soldier/veteran to be made into a keepsake ornament and displayed on the Hero’s Christmas tree near J.C. Penney at Mesa Mall.
Blue Star Mothers is a non-partisan, non-political organization of mothers who have or have had children honorably serving in the military. Grand Valley Blue Star Mothers is a local chapter.
Photos will be copied and laser-engraved on a blue acrylic star that looks like this:
Send photo, along with soldier’s name, rank and in which conflict he or she serves/served, along with the name, address, phone number and email of the person submitting the photo to:
Grand Valley Blue Star Mothers 2139 N. 12th St., Unit No. 10-135A Grand Junction, CO 81501
For more information: info@gjbluestarmothers.org (970) 242-3845
Ornaments and photos can be picked up between 1 and 4 p.m. on Dec. 29 at the Hero’s Tree, or you can include $1 with your submission to have them mailed to you.
