Garden Tommies – back in stock for Armed Forces Day!

Leave a reply

An item from the There But Not There organization.  Please note that I have both the Tommy and the D-Day 75 Bootprint Plaque, so if members wish to see them before ordering please let me know and I can bring them to a future Branch meeting.
Garden Tommies back in stock

As one of our newsletter subscribers, we’d like to offer you the chance to be among the first to order a Garden Tommy.

The Garden Tommy was one of our most popular products last year and we have been able to secure a limited run. We would like to offer them to you before they go on general release in time for Armed Forces Day tomorrow.

They stand at 78cm tall and made from a weathering steel which will age and develop a beautiful patina. They are solid enough to withstand the elements and the natural rusting process creates a protective barrier which will help the steel last for years to come.

Priced at £60 you can access the Garden Tommies exclusively on our website.
Armed Forces Day
Tomorrow, Saturday 29th June, remember to #SaluteOurForces forArmed Forces Day.

We are committed to ensuring that the sacrifices of our Armed Forces over the years are recognised and remembered.

To celebrate Armed Forces Day and remember those who have fallen, we are offering two exclusive offers on our Tommies on Saturday 29th June only:

All 10″ Tommies will be reduced to £19.99 for Armed Forces Day

OR

Get a 10″ Tommy for £15.99 when bought with a Garden Tommy
Our D-Day Bootprints
We were delighted to see installations of our Bootprints appearing across the country in time for D-Day and it was wonderful to see so many communities embracing the 75th anniversary. Our Bootprints also made it across the Channel to Sword Beach to commemorate the landings themselves.

Our Bootprint plaques are still available on our website – so you can commemorate the Battle of Normandy and Remembrance Day.

Ted Martens: Dutch resistance fighter

Ted Martens: Dutch resistance fighter

Story by Stephen J. Thorne

Ted Martens did whatever he could to derail the Nazi war machine while serving with the Dutch resistance during the Second World War—then the Nazi war machine derailed him, but only briefly.

Martens was captured early in 1942 and came within a hair’s-breadth of torture and execution at the hands of German troops. But the strapping Dutchman staged a daring escape and later joined British forces in the drive to liberate his homeland from Nazi tyranny.

The sinking of the Llandovery Castle

Story by Sharon Adams

On the night of June 27, 1918, 14 nursing sisters, all but two Canadian, died, victims of a war crime.

The Canadian hospital ship Llandovery Castle was on its way back to England after delivering recovering soldiers to Halifax. It was running with full lights, its Red Cross clearly illuminated, when it crossed the path of a German U-boat about 200 kilometres from the Irish coast.

Wreaths Across America Kicks Off Annual Giving in July. Mission Matters – June 2019

Leave a reply

An item from the Wreaths Across America organization.
Click to view this email online.
Giving in July for Wreaths Across America is an idea that reminds us to remember and honor our country’s veterans each and every day of the year, not just in December. Like Christmas in July, thinking about the holidays during the summer months provides us with the perfect opportunity to encourage others to get involved early and support not only our mission, but other groups in their communities playing a part to Remember, Honor and Teach.

Our veterans and our current military serve and protect us 365 days a year, providing us with freedoms that we enjoy as citizens every day in this country. More details about this year’s Giving in July effort can be read below. Thank you for your support of the mission year-round.

Remember – Honor – Teach

With gratitude,
Karen Worcester

Doing Good Twice: Midwest Honor Flight, Sioux Center, IA 
Wreaths Across America is proud to partner with nonprofits and veteran service organizations across the United States in supporting our nation’s heroes and thanking them for their service. Through our fundraising group efforts, Wreaths Across stimulates other charitable funds by returning $5 of every $15 wreath sponsorship raised. In doing so, we “do good twice,” recognizing the commitment made by veteran service organizations and other nonprofits to support Wreaths Across America by directly giving back to their missions in turn.

The Midwest Honor Flight is one of these groups. Read on to hear about the important work they do to honor our nation’s heroes, both living and at rest.

Everyone Plays A Part
The 10 balsam bouquets comprising each veteran’s wreath are symbolic of so much to us at Wreaths Across America. Represented here by hands, they demonstrate the many ways individuals and communities come together to Remember, Honor and Teach.

Each month, we’ll share stories from across the country of the different ways to #PlayAPart2019.
