Flat Daddies Hold Soldier’s Place At Home

I thought this was SUCH a cool idea!

The Maine National Guard is giving life-size from-the-waist-up pictures of soldiers to the families of deployed guard members. Guard officials and families say the cutouts, known as Flat Daddies or Flat Soldiers, connect families with a relative who is thousands of miles away. The Flat Daddies are toted everywhere from soccer practice to coffee shops to weddings.

What an awesome idea, and a great way for Command to support the families!

Wouldn’t it be neat if communities started adopting their NG and USAR units, and finding a printer who would do this at a decent price, so every unit could do this for their troops?
