Cards 4 Vets





I've started a new organization. So far we've given out about 8000 cards to veterans. I originally was using my own cards - trying to week out my collection, but now am looking for donations from others. I've started to write the sports teams and the Buffalo Bisons are the first ones to answer the call - please check it out please.
