Angels from Above bracelet was introduced on April 1st 2007 with an idea to make only one bracelet to give to a friend that was leaving to Iraq on May 15, 2007. The idea that someday he would go to war and fight for my freedom was an honor. I felt that I needed to give him something to say thank you then I decide to have someone make a bracelet with my name on it and one with his name on it and upon his return from duty we would exchange. This is when a friend spoke to me and asked where he could get one and others followed with the same request. I felt it was an honor that others wanted to express the same to loved ones and those heroic soldiers that would soon leave. Angels from Above will be the beginning of something really special. While others fight for our freedom I will fight to give them the support and give back to their families and organizations that would honor them.
