As often happens, something I care about just nags me until I come up with a way to bring it to the public's eye. This is what occured recently when I got tired of our wonderful people in the military being igonored and used incorrectly as pawns for something else. Our men and women are coming home to angry Americans -- the real story of what they are going through each day is not being told -- they are not getting the support or respect they should be -- and they're being used for political gain.
We have got to create a loud voice for their honor and respect!
We must be the ones to remember them every day, to make sure others remember.
What happened to all of the flags being flown? What happened to all of those e-mails going around about the troops and what they are doing for their country? Where are the graphics and tags showing our pride for our men and women?
Political parties are not even required or important here. We must all make sure that these men and women know we care. They have to know we think about them, they need to know they have our prayers and love. That is why I sent out a mailing about all of us needing to remember these brave soldiers in each mailing we send. The response was so huge that I decided to place all of my graphics and others on a website where anyone can access and use them. I've also been sent stories and images of some loved ones whic will more than likely show up on these pages as well. Please use these graphics on each piece of mail you send, make it an "Epidemic of love, respect, honor & support."
Save the graphics on these pages, but more importantly -- USE THEM IN EVERY E-MAIL YOU SEND!
Include the link to this website and ask folks to help spread the "Epidemic".
My heartfelt thanks to you and yours as always -- Suzanne M. Fromtling
Website graphics were created by me, as were several of the graphics you will find on these pages. However, many other talented artists were involved, including [but not limited to] Spapkie@aol.com, Mommcat@aol.com, Janice [southerngal@centurytel.net], and many more as shown on some of the graphics. Most of us just create them with love and gratitude for the men and women serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia and everywhere around the world.
If you have graphics to donate to this cause, please feel free to submit them to me via Suzywoo2@aol.com or if you prefer, SuzanneFromtling@woowebdesigns.com. If you are the artist [or know the artist's name] name, please let me know so I can list all graphic artists here. Likewise, if you want to have your military loved ones listed on the "Your Soldier" page with a short story, submit those to the same addresses listed.
As with the websites I create for children, I created this with love, respect, honor & support for soldiers.

A few of you recently asked if you could help me with the costs of the websites I do since I am disabled with minimal income. I do have to pay Homestead for the web space, bandwidth and storage space for all the graphics and websites. Some have also asked over the years that I have been doing the online newsletter. Until now, I had not accepted due to possible criticism and my own personal restraints. However, costs have certainly not kept up with my own beliefs. Therefore I am placing this button here for the folks who would like to donate a little something to help me keep these important websites operating.
My deepest thanks to everyone who has been by my side all of these years believing in & supporting me.
I made it six years without doing this, but the time has definitely come. Just click the button below, and thank you!
This site was awarded the "HARMONY AMERICAN SPIRIT AWARD"
I was very proud and honored to have been selected as the recipient for this special award.
The note received on January 2, 2004 said:
"Congratulations ! Your web site has been awarded the Harmony Award of Excellence for the month of November & December 2003."
Awarded to Suzywoo2@aol.com for her website:
"Help Spread An Epidemic Of Support For Our Troops!"
For more information about the group which extended this gift to me, please write to Prism1603@aol.com
Most of the places which hand out website awards require that the page be submitted for consideration. This means that someone special out there submitted my page, and I thank you! I've never been one to "blow my own horn" or submit my own pages, so this is very special indeed. Whomever you are, thank you & Harmony for this one of a kind award.
The last few months it came my attention that many of the graphics supporting the soldiers on this website & others were not including family members other than wives, girlfriends, etc. A lot of requests came in for "Mother", "Father", "Brother" and "Sister", etc. So, I've begun working on this request and will be adding them as soon as I complete each series. Please visit this page of all new tags where I am sure you will find something just for you! Also, I am offering some of the tags for personalization. If there is one you would like to have something personal added to, please use the link and I will create it as soon as possible for you.
