About Operation Welcome You Home (OWYH)
Operation Welcome You Home (OWYH) is a 501c(3) not for profit organization founded in 2007 with a simple request from a local Mom wanting her son, returning from deployment, to be honored. Two weeks later, another Mom had the same request. With that, we realized the need to continue honoring and showing support to the men and women serving our Country who put their lives on the line for us daily so we may enjoy our freedom. We started receiving requests from families when a loved one was leaving for deployment. We now gather to show a sea of support to the courageous men and women, letting them know they have our support when leaving to defend our Country. Sadly, with heavy hearts, we are there for KIA’s (killed in action) who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. We stand in flag line to support their families. We present families with tokens of appreciation for their sacrifice for our freedom. We stand in honor for our Veterans who have shared their lives with our Country past, present and future. When Military Heroes come home from war, they are not the same young man or woman they once were. They need our support! Thus, Operation Welcome You Home formed, a small cog in the wheel, assisting however/wherever we can. Visit http://www.welcomeyouhome.org for more information.
