Holiday Blue Star Ornaments photo engraved with photos of your hero were displayed on a tree at Mesa Mall throughout the holiday season, 2008.  The families received the stars after the event.

The first tree was donated by Home Depot, the acrylic by Reynolds Polymer and the engraving by Wildflower Tech Creations LLC.
