This calendar is given as a gift to children who have lost a loved one in service to our country or by an act of terrorism, and to our deployed troops as a daily reminder that they are not forgotten.

Calendars will be distributed to:

«     All U.S. Navy ships for Sailors in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans—including aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, submarines and small minesweepers

«     U.S. Army for Soldiers in Germany, Italy, the Balkans, Japan, Korea, Sinai, Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Cuba, Honduras and other locations where Soldiers serve around the world

«     U.S. Marine Corps for Marines in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, Liberia and Japan

«     U.S. Air Force for Airmen in Kuwait and Afghanistan

«     U.S. Coast Guard for Coastguardsmen in Iraq

We reach more than 600,000 service members throughout the world.

This calendar was made possible with the help of many generous supporters.  The Commission expresses gratitude to: Dean Younf of “Blondie” and the Celebrities who signed the calendar; the AFL-CIO Unions: Painters and Allied Trades, Iron Workers, Sheet Metal Workers and Fire Fighters for partnering in the production; District Lithograph Company Inc. for the printing and for donating the paper and Auras Design for the graphics.
