I know, I know…Mother’s Day is over.  But as a mom, I just couldn’t resist one more post regarding Canvas on Demand’s Operation Hi Mom.  Thanks to all of you for writing to us.  I just wish I could share ALL of the hundreds of responses with our readers.  But please just know that your comments mean a great deal to us here at Canvas on Demand!  Mom

Dear Canvas on Demand:  I want to thank Canvas on Demand for their outstanding tribute to our nation’s troops and their waiting families.  I got the surprise of my life yesterday when I opened a huge box with a photo of my son magically transferred to canvas in artistic form!  I cried and cried!  My son is Mike, USMC, on his second tour (Irag/Afghanistan).  He’s a tough, gung-ho Marine, but when it comes to a stray kitten, he’s a marshmallow softie!  The canvas is a phenomenal example of giving from the depth of heart and soul.  We are proud of our troops who sacrifice so much to keep us safe, and we are equally proud of businesses like Canvas on Demand who sacrifice during difficult economic times to remain true to their personal integrity, devotion to their beliefs, and investment in what makes our country great.  It is companies like Canvas on Demand that have always made America what it is, the greatest country in the world, well worth the sacrifices we all have to make.   Thank you, Canvas on Demand, from all of the military families back home who feel your support for our loved ones at war.  Mike’s mom, Chris  (See the canvas of Mike and the little kitty at the end of this post.)

Below are few more of the hundreds and hundreds of heartfelt notes we receive every day, notes that bring us great joy!

Last week I received in the mail the most awesome gift that any Mother could ever receive. My son is in Iraq and he had uploaded his photo and sent it to your company to make a canvas. I just wanted to tell you how beautiful it is and to thank your company for what you are doing for the troops. If I had the choice of a $1,000 bill and this canvas, my pick would be the canvas. Thank you so much for my special gift and again, you guys are doing a superb job for our troops!  Lynn 

 Wow!  I really appreciate you doing this for deployed Airmen, Soldiers, Sailors and Marines.  It means the world to us to know there are people back home like you that support what we are doing.  I know it means the world to me!  I can’t wait to hear my mother’s response when she receives the canvas. Thanks for making this a special Mother’s day for my mother, Roy 

 To the crew at Canvas On Demand:  I would just like to say “THANK YOU SO MUCH” and they say people aren’t nice these days. My Mom is going to be so surprised I wish I could see her face when the canvas arrives. If I can do anything for you guys/gals just let me know…I owe you! TSgt Christopher 

I just want to thank you for the gift you have given my family and I.  I have not seen it nor will I see it until I get home from Afghanistan, but what you are doing is wonderful.  For me, it doesn’t matter what it looks like, just the thought of you doing this for us is enough for me.  It is people like you that make life easy for us. Patrick “Strength and Honor” 

Thank you for doing something for the troops! It’s not often that people recognize what we do and what we go through. I really appreciate it. SSG Ronnie 

I can’t thank you enough! What you did (operation hi-honey) for me & my wife was simply amazing. I was skyping with her last night when she opened the canvas…she had no clue what was in it. The look in her eyes and tears of joy were priceless. Even though my wife and I are seven thousand miles apart, you made it possible for us to have a special anniversary. I may sound a little too dramatic but honestly, THANK YOU!   Lemuel

 Oh my gosh…I am still crying as I gaze over at the canvas I just received from you.  What a lovely gift. It is amazing All I have to do now is look at this canvas and remember my hero!  Sincerely, Debbie
