Our Heroes’ Tree has much to say For families whose loved ones serve in harm’s way.
People of all ages craft my decorations, Sharing the holidays of our great nation.
Drawing pictures and swapping stories, They entrust my arms with family glory.
For I hold faces and places and holiday heart songs, Each with a whisper: “Loving hearts, stay strong.”
My lights are like stars. Silent and white. Reflecting the honor of ultimate sacrifice.
See my ribbons of yellow, ripples of love, USA flags, and guardian angel above.
Star wish for military families, brave heroes, too, Our Heroes’ Tree…Together with you. |

Military connected family and friends create individual ornaments as a tribute to their soldier, sailor, airman, marine, coastguardsman, veteran, or fallen service member. Each hero ornament is placed on a community tree in honor of its citizens who are or have served in the United States armed forces. The concept - simple. The presentation - simply moving. |
