We're not from one place, but we're part of a proud community!
The mission of military brat and author Michelle Ferguson-Cohen is to remind children coping with deployment that they are not alone. In fact, they are part of a proud community and many other children share their experience. Many wonderful organizations have donated the "You're My Hero!" titles to children to remind them we care!
