Our Heroes' Tree: Honoring and Supporting Veterans

Today marks the beginning of a month-long tribute to veterans.  The Military Family Research Institute at Purdue University partners with libraries around the globe to present the "Our Heroes' tree initiative.  This program enables libraries to honor past and present members of our U.S. military, all branches and all wars.
 

Everyone who wishes to is invited to place an ornament (or ornaments) on the tree to honor their loved ones.  Please make as many as you'd like.  You can use the templates supplied by us here at the library, or create your own.  These can include photos, or not.  

We are pleased to offer two separate Heroes' Trees here at OCPL this year.  One is located on the main floor, and one on the second floor, in Youth Services.  If you have any questions, please call the library, or contact us via e-mail, a comment here, or facebook.  We are happy to answer your questions if we can. 

Our Heroes' Trees will remain up through out November, and into December.  If you would like your ornament back at the end of our display, please come in and feel free to pick them up beginning December 5th.  Thank you in advance, and we hope to see many ornaments in support of our men and women who have served, or are currently serving our country.  Now, I'm off to make mine.....

Thanks again,
