"The original idea for Operation: Hi Mom, Hi Honey was born after I made a canvas photo for my cousin's wife while he was deployed in Iraq. When we received the heartfelt thank you's from him and his wife, and understood how meaningful the gesture of a special piece of photo art was to them, we knew we had to provide a way for our overseas troops to honor their loved ones back at home," explains CanvasOnDemand.com co-founder Joe Schmidt, Senior Vice President, Art and Stationery, CafePress. "It's an honor and a privilege for us to offer our thanks and appreciation to our troops through this program, and extremely gratifying to be part of the wonderful stories that have been shared by so many of the families that have been touched by it."
U.S. mothers and wives have loved ones stationed all over the world and CanvasOnDemand.com has fulfilled orders from a variety of remote locations including Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, Korea, Cuba, Germany and Japan. Additionally, Operation Hi Mom, Hi Honey canvases have been shipped to all 50 states, as well as to Guam, Puerto Rico, Armed Forces Africa, and Armed Forces Pacific.
