A Glimpse of the Journey Ahead
Welcome to our digital sanctuary. The Remembrance-Gratitude initiative was founded to shift public consciousness away from static, heavy grief and into an active, everyday framework of appreciation. We are currently preparing a beautiful visual expansion of these grounds, structured as The Wondrous Stories Bridge—a digital path built with love to connect our peaceful present with the legacy of our heroes.
As you explore our developing space, you will encounter the active soundscape of the heart through our new metaphor, Love’s Loudest Whisper, and discover how Love Can Build a Bridge of Memory where the living and the fallen meet in mutual thankfulness. Whether you are here to explore our upcoming children's books or look at our custom, free offers, we invite you to walk with us.
A completely new way of honoring the past is unfolding here, and we are grateful you have chosen to walk this path alongside us.

Who will bring Remembrance forward? …
Poppy’s Unfailing Companion
Remembrance is calling for a new voice,
on top of all that’s recovered
The promised ideas await in the blind aching to be discovered.
Love is revealed in embers of life With poppies present at altars
Drawn from our solemn history’s strife
They are stars that never falter
Ideas are like stars, just out of reach
And sparkling bright to entice us.
Out from the shadows, into new light-
Fresh ideas come in clearer focus.
Coloraturas sing bravely with larks
in celestial unfettered abandon.
Rethinking remembrance, with future insight
We are poppy’s unfailing companion.
… We hold the answer.
In friendship and with a caress of peace, -Carl Gincley De Franco
