“We are proud to support the GCUniverse Cards for Troops Campaign. We feel that our troops need to know that their efforts are appreciated from the people back home. There is nothing more special then getting a personalized greeting card from home.”

Working with the USO, these paper greeting cards will be included in Operation USO Care Packages and shipped to uniformed men and women in need of comforts and support from home. The USO has sent over 1,100,000 care packages since the program’s inception in 2001. More information, at www.usocares.org.

GCUniverse is the largest online paper greeting card store and allows freelance artists to offer their art on paper greeting cards. Having begun in January 2007, GCUniverse has already attracted more than 300 artists and boasts over 9,000 original “direct from the artist” greeting cards.

According to Mindy Rosso, VP of Marketing at BigDates Solutions, “We are elated to have the participation of artists from our GCUniverse community like B E Diczhazy & Peggy Danley and honored to be working with the USO. This program is a real team effort.” Rosso continues, “Regardless of your political opinion, I think we all agree on the importance of letting our service men and women know that they are cared about, appreciated and that their safe return home is of great concern. We hope thousands of Americans will join us in sending cards of encouragement to service men and women far from home.”
