Not only do paracord bracelets look cool, they can actually be used to save a life in an emergency situation. Operation Gratitude includes them in their Care Packages because they’re both functional and meaningful, as they are handmade by an American who wants to show their appreciation to our Troops and First Responders. During this time of social distancing, you don’t need to leave your home to mail your handmade items! Please use their guide to order boxes, print postage, and have your box picked up by the post office.
