As part of the second annual Celebration of Service, The Home Depot Foundation joined bloggers specializing in military affairs, do-it-yourself projects, and home improvement to spread the word about the need for safe and comfortable homes for veterans and their families. This year, these veteran families had not only a safe place to call home ? they had a safe and extra special place to call home for the holidays. With family, friends and holiday cheer, these veterans received home visits from the bloggers themselves who helped them decorate with the help of Team Depot and Operation Homefront. Check out a few of the blogs below:
