If a picture is worth a thousand words, the CD One Price Cleaner’s Flag Mosaic Project honoring active and veteran military could fill library upon library.
In honor of active and veteran service men and women who have bravely served, suburban Chicago-based dry cleaning franchisor CD One Price Cleaners is partnering with Fisher House Foundation. The Fisher House program provides a “home away from home” for families of patients receiving medical care at major military and VA medical centers.
The homes provide temporary free lodging so families can be close to their loved ones during a medical crisis. The
“Heroes of the Neighborhood” program is a collaboration between CD One Price Cleaners and its valued customers to raise support and awareness for Fisher House Foundation and two of its houses in Chicago and Minneapolis, by creating a customized photographic Flag Mosaic as a visual thank you to all U.S. military and their families.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with the Fisher House Foundation, an inspiring organization that creates a home for military families who are undergoing serious medical treatments and therapy,” said John Morocco, vice president of CD One Price Cleaners.
“As we move through the summer months and toward Veteran’s Day, our company is creating a way to actively give back to U.S. military families in need and encouraging our generous customers to do the very same.”
From June 15 through October 1, CD One Price Cleaners across Chicagoland and Minneapolis are inviting individuals to donate $5 to Fisher House Foundation and upload a photo of their favorite active or veteran U.S. military soldier.
All appropriate military photos will be accepted. Photos of military personnel will be posted to a special website
containing real-time interactive streaming.
The pictures will ideally span a century (from WWI to the present) and serve as a collective tribute to all U.S. military who have served America. The flag mosaic can support up to 9,000 photos. Every photo submitted will help construct two 4-by-6-foot American Flag Mosaics that will be presented to Fisher House locations in Hines, Ill., and Minneapolis.
Minn. All collected funds and the mosaic flags will be presented at a very special ceremony at both locations on or around Veteran’s Day, Nov. 11, 2014.
