We want to thank you for choosing HeroBracelets to honor those who serve in our military. Our goal with these bracelets is twofold. First, to honor those serving, wounded in combat or killed in action. Wearing a HeroBracelet is a profoundly simple way to show your respects to these brave men and women. Second, we want to support the work the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund has done to build The Center For The Intrepid in San Antonio. It is, without a doubt, the finest facility ever built for the rehabilitation of those wounded in combat. It was built with over $60 million raised entirely by donations from individuals and projects like HeroBracelets. Since HeroBracelets.org was launched in December of 2004, we've made tens of thousands of bracelets honoring soldiers, Marines, sailors and airmen, from WWII to the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. And we've heard from thousands of HeroBracelet wearers, from the camps in Iraq to towns and cities all around the world. We have been honored and humbled to talk with so many of you and we welcome your comments and photographs. A fast start for HeroBraceletsHeroBracelets started with an idea and a batch of 500 simple bracelets. Within two weeks of opening the Web site, we were inundated with reporters. ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and FOX NEWS all did features. Major newspapers from around the country wrote stories and interviewed HeroBracelets wearers. We were unable to keep up with the orders and would never have made it without the help of friends, neighbors and volunteers. Twice, mothers of fallen soldiers met with the President and gave him HeroBracelets bearing their son's names. Unit Commanders both in the US and Iraq have ordered scores of HeroBracelets for their troops. Even though a HeroBracelet is not officially part of military dress code, we have heard from thousands of military personnel that wear them daily with their officers blessings. About each HeroBraceletFrom the beginning, our goal was to produce a superior quality bracelet that was a fitting memorial. We also wanted to make a donation with each bracelet AND keep the cost as low as possible. We're proud to say we've succeeded. Our first batch of bracelets were stamped from sheet aluminum and laser etched. This worked well, but the stamped edge was rough (nearly all other memorial bracelets are stamped like this, and have those rough edges). Also, we found many other bracelets to be very thin and too easy to bend. We spent a lot of time experimenting with materials and eventually developed a stronger bracelet with rounded, smooth edges. Each genuine HeroBracelet is individually shaped, smoothed and anodized before it's laser engraved. You can tell a genuine HeroBracelet because the edges are not raw metal, but rounded and the same smooth color and finish throughout. No other memorial bracelet is made with our secret method. It costs more to make our bracelets this way, yet we still maintain the $2 donation to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes fund with each bracelet, AND we sell them for less than the others offering a similar bracelet.
