What is Blankets of Belief? A NEW and very special project at Soldiers' Angels, Blankets of Belief is simply that - a blanket created from love by our members to provide hope and comfort to a deployed hero during one of the most difficult and vulnerable times of their lives. A dedicated team of Angels works daily to create homemade blankets adorned with beautiful artwork, pins and buttons, drawings from children and message of belief, hope, support and cheer. Why give a Blanket of Belief? We want our heroes to know we BELIEVE IN THEM, this we hope is a proactive way of helping heroes through deployment. So they have an easier time when they return home. Now You Can Get Involved Too!!! Even if you do not have the creativity or know how, you too can create a Blanket of Belief
Ready To Send Kit - This kit comes with colored fabric markers, beads, baubles, and a Soldiers' Angels pin to attach your own note to the soldier. The blanket has been sewn together, all that is left to do is decorate it as you see fit, complete the note to the soldier and send it to the address provided. The cost for the Ready To Send Kit is $29. All proceeds go directly to the Soldiers Angels Projects, providing for materials and postage to get these to our heroes.
This blue fleece blanket provides a WONDERFUL way for you to send a little love, comfort and support to a young hero . If you would like to get started on your very own Blanket of Belief, all you have to do is decide how creative you want to get.

UPDATE ....SOLDIERS ANGELS CALLING FOR
Blankets of Belief
Making sure America's servicemen and women know... We Believe in You!
This winter, an estimated 180,000 U.S. military personnel will be serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, and other locations around the world, in combat environments or in support of combat operations. Some will be on their 3rd or 4th deployments--spending yet another Holiday away from the loving arms of family and friends.
We want them to know that they are remembered, that we are thinking of them during the winter Holiday Season, and that we are grateful for their service. Since we can't wrap our arms around them in person to show how much we love and appreciate them, our goal is to wrap all 180,000 of our deployed service members in blankets representative of our support and faith in them, Blankets of Belief. The Blankets will be a physical reminder that they are not alone during the Holidays. When deployed service members receive a Blanket of Belief, they will know that somebody back home remembered them, that somebody labored over a handmade blanket with thoughts of them and hopes or prayers for their strength and comfort. |
