The Arizona Interfaith Movement (AIFM) partnered with the Arizona Coalition for Military Families (ACMF) and Just Serve, to provide over 3,000 thank you cards to the Arizona Army National Guard and over 1,000 thank you cards to the Arizona Air National Guard on the occasion of the anniversary of 9-11. The project was the brainchild of the Judy Renfro, who, in addition to being a very active member of AIFM, is the director of Just Serve which links volunteers to opportunities to serve their community. Judy worked with the leaders of faith community youth groups and teachers to have the youths create the cards.
Mike Wold, US Navy Veteran, an AIFM member, delivered the cards to Amy Smith, Soldier and Family Readiness Specialist at the Arizona Army National Guard and Lieutenant Colonel Gordon Smith of the Arizona Army National Guard and John Akram, Human Resources Specialist at the Arizona Air National Guard.
