Weekend of Honor peacemaker recipients, hold themselves responsible for being peacemakers according to the word of GOD (Matthew 5:9) - Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Weekend of Honor is an expression of gratitude for frontline servants. First responders give their all, sacrifice their lives, their family time and risking their mental health.

OUR MISSION
When Thank You Is Just Not Enough!
​

​
LAW ENFORCEMENT
Cards For Cops
​
As law enforcement has been under attack, it is our responsibility as patriots to reassure them of their value to our country. For our law enforcement brothers and sisters we want to express in words through greeting cards, thank you cards and hand written notes “We appreciate you and we’ve got your back.”
​
FIREFIGHTERS
Flags for Fire
​
Fire Fighters are often the unnoticed hero. Sure we see them charge the flames, carry out victims and defend property but we seldom know who they are because of all their gear. A flag of acknowledgement and appreciation will let the world identify these heroes even on their well deserved day off.
​
EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIAN
Mugs for EMT'S
​
When 911 is called and it's a matter of life or death without the EMT's, death would most often be the outcome. They spend years learning how to have the skills of a doctor, display the heart of a nurse and exemplify the courage of peace officers but are often not honored. As a small token of our appreciation we would like to present them a mug of gratitude from patriots.
​
FRONTLINE NURTURERS
Massages for Nurses
​
Nurses are the key to mental survival in many hospitals and COVID-19 has attacked them mentally and killed them physically. Despite the mental attacks and deaths of colleagues they continue to come out of retirement, travel to hot spots because they are true patriots and heroes.
​
MILITARY
Lifesavers for Veterans
​
We can not stand for the flag without truly standing up for our Veterans. Many have been left behind in our society by government bureaucracy and Americans as a whole. As patriots it is up to us to fight for and protect each one of their lives and dignity. We must reduce the reported 20+ daily suicide by Veterans.
It is our mission and goal to provide Certified Life Savers to veterans across America that will advocate for their 22 assigned veterans 24/7. The Certified Life Saver job is to reduce stress, frustration, let down and the feeling of not being valued by being the Veterans voice to the public.
​
THE FORGOTTEN PEACE OFFICERS
Benefits for Correctional Officers
​
Correctional Officers are among the least financially compensated and the least recognized members of the justice system. Without them our communities and country would be unsafe. Each correctional officer takes an oath to spend countless hours with murderers, rapists and some of the most vile individuals on a daily basis. So often being attacked with human feces, threatening words and uncontrollable circumstances LIKE COVID-19. As patriots we must stand for public safety by standing for the families of correctional officers.
