Attention military kids: the White House wants your creative holiday cards

This year, the White House will honor American heroes. First Lady Michelle Obama put the call out to children throughout the world to create holiday cards honoring their parent servicemember to be hung up in the White House over the holidays.

"We are asking kids like you, from military installations around the world, to create a holiday card that represents your parent who is serving our nation," the first lady wrote in a personal letter to military children. "I encourage you to use your imagination, and include words, pictures and drawings to create a holiday card that honors your brave mom or dad."

"Thank you for helping with this fun project, and most of all for your family's courageous service to our nation," the first lady wrote. "I look forward to seeing the results of your creativity!"

According to the report by the American Forces Press Service, the dimensions of the cards should be 5 by 8 inches, and should include the parent’s name, branch of service and command.

Get out the art supplies for your little Picasso, the deadline to send the homemade card is Nov. 16. They can be sent to: Reservation 1, Attn: Social Office, P.O. Box 8070, Washington, DC, 20032. Be sure to include a return address.

With the unique jobs here at Fort Bragg, from parachutes to green berets, the Army brats from our community should have great ideas.
