Guns n’ Roses Unite This Mother’s Day

FlowerPetal.com proudly announces the launch of its “Heroes and Mamas” campaign to help exceptional servicemen and women send flowers this Mother’s Day.  Recent victories in the war on terror stand as a testament of the bravery and diligence of United States’ active-duty military men and women, and there is much cause for celebration.  

Throughout times of war and peace, much is still required of these individuals, preventing them from experiencing the full joy of reconnecting with loved ones. The “Heroes & Mamas” campaign, run through Facebook, will remind people that servicemen and women remain in harm’s way on a daily basis, and that we must always be aware and thankful for their continued service – especially on Mother’s Day.

FlowerPetal.com co-founder Mark Benjamin explains, “The world’s finest warriors don’t simply materialize from thin air, they are the products of Moms who nurture and support their development every step of the way. We’re hoping to help some very tough individuals convey tender sentiments to the women who’ve always had their backs.”

Participation begins May 1st . Change your Facebook profile picture to the Mothers’ Day image found on FlowerPetal’s Facebook Page. For each profile picture change, FlowerPetal.com will donate $1 toward a flower fund used to deliver flowers to the mothers of select servicemen and women during the week of Mother’s Day.

Here’s how easy it is:

1. Change your profile picture to the hero image below. (Select “Save image as” and “Edit My Profile >> Profile Picture” in Facebook)

2. Let the folks at FlowerPetal.com know you made the change by sharing a thankful message to U.S. heroes on their Facebook Wall. (They’ll be including some of the messages in the gift packages)

3. Share this page with friends and family so we can make a large impact!

4. Treat yourself to a 20% discount at FlowerPetal.com using the code “HEROES” upon purchase to brighten the life of a loved one
