Dear :
 
This past weekend we celebrated Independence Day, America's birthday!  It was a fitting time to reflect on the past and thank those who have and those who continue to serve and sacrifice for our great country.  Thank you!  I ask you to take a few minutes after reading this email to write a note to a soldier or send me an email requesting a card to be sent on your behalf. 
 
I have a brother that served 20 years and retired from the US Army last year.  I have another brother who is retiring from the US Air Force Reserve in November.  I have been around the military my whole life.  I even went to a university, Texas A & M, that, after the military academies, puts out the most officers.  Watch the movie "A Few Good Men", the Marine Drill Team at the beginning of the movie is from Texas A & M!
 
Driving back from California I had time to think about  A Rose of Thanks and where it is going and how to make it bigger and better.  There is no limit to what it can become except for the limitations we put on it.
 
Some big changes are coming in the next few months.  Be watching the website at www.ARoseofThanks.org to see what's happening.  I'll send you updates when changes are made.

rose of thanksWhen we first went out the the GBK Productions American Music Awards Gift Suite last year I asked Mack Petrea, Owner, to get me a few shirts made for A Rose of Thanks, and of course, I waited until the last minute!  Mack said, "I will try but I can't guarantee you it will happen."  Well, I am here to say it did happen.  Mack under promised and over delivered.  I received many compliments on the shirts (like the one to the left) from celebrities and other vendors alike. 
 
 
Should you need custom embroidery or promotional products, I suggest you give Mack Petrea of Custom Images a call at 704.491.1987 or drop him an email at cmpetrea@ctc.net.  As he always says:  "I can fit the small, the tall and pretty much them all."
