Public Invited to Pay Veterans Day Tribute Online

Online photo gallery gives public opportunity to pay free-of-charge tribute this Veterans Day.

(PRWEB) November 4, 2009 -- A new website is online that gives family and friends an opportunity to honor American veterans of past and current wars. The Veterans Tribute Wall is an online photo gallery located at www.LestWeForgetCardsUS.com. The public is invited to upload digital or scanned pictures of veterans following the simple step-by-step instructions included in the gallery. Contributors have the option to add a personal message or a brief version of the veteran’s story to the gallery along with the photo. The Tribute Wall remains online for public viewing and continued posting, and it’s completely cost-free.

The website is an initiative of web and design company Graphic Communications Group though its iCardz division. Says company President Dean Johnstone, “The Tribute Wall is a unique project. It’s an interactive and at times very personal way to communicate our histories, to combine them into a living story, and to provide that history with a face and a name.” Continues Johnstone, “It gives friends and families a public opportunity to pay tribute to people who have served in any conflict involving U.S. forces – The First and Second World Wars as well as earlier conflicts, Korea and Vietnam, The Persian Gulf War, Iraq and Afghanistan. And those involved with peacekeeping efforts through organizations such as the United Nations are an important part of this project too.”

In conjunction with the Veterans Tribute Wall, iCardz releases the America at War: D-Day – Band of Brothers Series I Collection this month in honor of the 65th anniversary of D-Day. The collection consists of 192 cards similar to sport and trading cards. These cards, however, tell the American story of D-Day, the operation that is commonly considered the turning point of the Second World War. Special features included in the set are autographed Band of Brothers cards, original artwork by exclusive arrangement from Valor Studios Inc. artists depicting key scenes from the Normandy Invasion, and sketch cards featuring original artwork by renowned artist Ingrid Hardy in random packages. Hardy’s cards featured here pay tribute to the “Band of Brothers” with sketches of some of the actual members of Easy Company.

Adds Johnstone, “Our goal here is to help encourage the remembrance of our veterans’ contributions and sacrifices. At a time when the term ‘hero’ is sometimes overused, these veterans are truly deserving of the title.”

The Veterans Tribute Wall is online now and will remain active indefinitely. Contributors can add photos of as many veterans as they wish. Visitors to the Tribute Gallery will also find expanded information about D-Day and the America at War: D-Day – Band of Brothers Series I Collection on the site.
