This idea started as an act of kindness and compassion for our troops
in Iraq and Afghanistan. Compassion and kindness should ALWAYS
transcend political ideologies. Our support of the troops should be
unwavering. The plain and simple truth is that they may be there for a
while. We feel the need to do our part. Most wonderful things start
with a germ of an idea...
Our idea is to send hand made lip balm and lotion overseas by way of
our local National Guard Unit, the Army Reserve Unit, school groups
around the area and any other way that you may suggest. So far we have
sent tubes of lavender lip butter to the National Guard Reserve Unit
based in Appleton and plan to contribute more to the Army Reserve next
week. Our lip butter promises "soft kisses for your lips", so it's our
way of sending "kisses from home". Others have joined us in this
effort. Mrs. Stapelford's class at St. Mary's in Kaukauna is sending
kisses in their care package project. If you have a loved one stationed
over seas and would like to send our Lip butter kisses along, please
call us at 920-731-0667. We would also like to put photos of those of
you who are here on the labels, so please email us your head shot
photos through our website. This is completely complimentary. There is NO charge to you.

I would like to thank suppliers who're offering us discounts,
especially Jim at Insta Print Plus for donating the labels and Candace
Kriner from Century 21 First Realty of Appleton.
Dedicated to my Dad-Joe "Sam" Merkes who served 4 years in WWII,
participated in the D Day Invasion, the Battle of the Bulge, and the
Liberation of Paris and to my mom Evelyn Kobussen Merkes who sent him
kisses from home during those 4 years.
