Our Heroes' Tree e-book sales from these online retailers are included: Amazon.com; MilitaryFamilyBooks.com; Apple iBooks Store; and BarnesandNoble.com.
Operation Purple Camp, a program of the National Military Family Association (NMFA), was selected as this year's beneficiary to recognize the positive impact of military children sharing the camp experience together. NMFA provides scholarships for military children to participate in this unique camp program, held in locations across the country during the summer months.
Now celebrating its 11th year, Our Heroes' Tree, co-founded by Stephanie Pickup and Marlene Lee, fosters understanding among military and civilian communities by bringing people together to honor the service, sacrifice, and legacy of U.S. service members and their families.
The family-friendly, picture e-book, authored by Pickup and Lee, is designed for group event and individual use. Chandler Dudley, a self-described "military brat," illustrated the e-book with original, creative, and emotive artwork that appeals to all ages.
Local communities and U.S. military installations worldwide are encouraged to host Our Heroes' Tree from Veterans' Day through Thanksgiving. Thank a Veteran – host Our Heroes' Tree.
