This is just incredible. This girl is 12 year old - 12. I'm going to post the home page, but to get to the bracelets, just click on the link on the left.

I designed the Harms Way 4 Kids bracelet in honor of the troops and their families. The yellow beads represent that someone you love is "in harm's way." The red, white and blue hearts represent our love and patriotism. My bracelet will rest safely on my arm until my Uncle Mike safely returns home.
" When smiles will replace the tears and the bell of freedom will ring at last for children everywhere."

I am making these bracelets available to everyone who has a loved one that has been deployed. No matter where they are stationed. As of 5/27/2004 we have mailed out 92,048 bracelets to all parts of the world. So far we have orders for over 135,000 bracelets. Troops around the world request them to send to their families or hang in their barracks. I continue to send bracelets to Army, Air Force, Marine and Navy bases all over the world. If you receive a bracelet and would like to send me your unit patch I am collecting them so that I can see where my bracelets have gone. I will treasure it forever. For the troops: If you can't wear your bracelet because it is not uniform, put it in your pocket and whenever you reach in and feel it there you will know that you are a hero.

The one year anniversary of Harms Way 4 Kids was March 22, 2004. I can hardly believe that a whole year has passed since I started making bracelets. So many wonderful things have happened and I have met so many wonderful new friends that no matter where I go in life they will always be with me. Their friendship and the lessons they have taught me are a gift that I will never forget. I don't know what it is about the bracelets that have helped so many families and troops. Maybe it is just the fact that it binds families together and shortens the miles that separate them. Many troops write to me and tell me that the bracelet reminds them of the reasons why they chose to serve in the first place. The troops have named them the "Freedom Bracelet." I am very honored. I hope that my website will help each person who visits remember that we must never forget the sacrifice that the troops are making for each one of us.
