About Operation: Write to Freedom

Operation: Write to Freedom was formed by members of a group of patriotic homeschoolers, from Illinois, who wanted to show their support and appreciation for the United States military. The group began meeting in the spring of 2002. Our members have two things in common: homeschooling and a great love of the United States of America!

Our group has gathered monthly to educate our children (and our adults) about this great country. At every meeting, members create cards and write letters to send overseas. Some of our popsicle stick flags were even flown in a mission in Afghanistan! (Note, the background image for this site, along with the link markers to the left were created from those popsicle stick flags.) We have also made a huge hand flag, using the children's hand tracings to create the great Stars & Stripes!

Over the last several years, our group has been making pocket flags to send to military personnel. Amid all of the anti-war protesters, we want to make sure the military knows they are supported, respected and loved. We have heard back from many of the military personnel who have received our pocket flags. The message is clear: the people defending our freedoms appreciate and need our support!

God Bless the USA!
