On Veterans Day, the nation pays tribute to members of the Armed Forces and their contributions to the causes of peace and freedom around the world.
Say “thanks” to vets – today or any day – with a Peace Cord, a bracelet that represents a special tie to our troops. Peace Cords are hand-woven by Afghani women, and made with military grade parachute cord and uniform buttons – the same materials U.S. soldiers use and wear.
www.PeaceCord.org is a nonprofit partnership between ARZU STUDIO HOPE (see Aug 2010 “Let’s Cut a Rug”) and Spirit of America. Production of Peace Cords creates jobs for impoverished Afghan women, delivers access to education and healthcare, and provides funds to U.S. troops for humanitarian projects to supply necessities like shoes, food and school books to isolated Afghan communities.
The goal is to sell 1,000,000 bracelets and 100% of the net proceeds benefit grassroots programs in Afghanistan. See who’s wearing peace proudly and browse the Peace Cord product line at www.PeaceCord.org
Thelma thanks our veterans.
