dotPhoto and Voice-Express Salute Military Families, Making Their Voices Heard for The Holidays
dotPhoto's charitable Wishes From Home(TM) program lets military personnel and their families send customized holiday cards complete with personal photos and voice recordings; dotPhoto will donate 50 cents for each card purchased to The United States Wounded Soldiers Foundation
This holiday season, U.S. troops stationed around the world can receive and share more personal and memorable season's greetings with their families, thanks to dotPhoto's charitable Wishes From Home(TM) program. Offered in partnership with http://www.marineparents.com/, a nonprofit corporation funded by private donations, mostly Marine Parents and family members, dotPhoto's Wishes From Home makes it easy for everyone to create and send customized 'talking holiday cards' to their loved ones at home or overseas. Each talking holiday card features a high-quality photograph and Voice-Express Corp.'s high-tech and patented voice chip recorder that plays a personalized message sure to thrill loved ones. And with each card sent, dotPhoto will donate 50 cents to The United States Wounded Soldiers Foundation (USWSF).
"The holidays are a time for reaching out to friends and family," says Glenn Paul, Founder and CTO of dotPhoto. "And there's nothing more touching than a holiday greeting that speaks in your own voice, with your own picture, professionally printed and framed in holiday graphics. It's a great way to send the message, 'I love you' during the holidays."
Anyone with a camera phone or digital camera can create talking holiday cards by simply uploading their favorite digital photo to http://www.dotphoto.com/, choosing a card design from among hundreds of colorful templates offered on dotPhoto's site, and placing a call to record a 10-second personal message. And once their card is created, it can be sent via the U.S. Postal Service to any AFO, FPO, or other address around the world, directly from http://www.dotphoto.com/.
Each beautifully printed and professionally bound card includes a seamlessly integrated, battery-operated voice chip from Voice-Express Corp., Westport, Conn., which designs, produces, and markets a variety of innovative, sound-enhanced products and services. Press the card's "Play" button, and the personally recorded message plays back with crystal clear clarity. And the high-quality photo cards come complete with a small hook, making them easy-to- hang holiday keepsakes or holiday ornaments.
And for every talking holiday card purchased, dotPhoto will donate 50 cents to The United States Wounded Soldiers Foundation, a non-profit organization providing clothes, hygienic items, and other personal items to U.S. soldiers wounded in Iraq. dotPhoto is also giving $1.00 off the usual price of $7.99 to all individuals that purchase through http://www.uswoundedsoldiers.com/, http://www.stripesclub.com/ or http://www.marineparents.com/.
Both the Marine Parents and the USWSF site are bringing dotPhoto's Wishes From Home program directly to armed service personnel through links that send them to http://www.dotphoto.com/, where they and their families can create talking holiday cards.
"These personalized talking holiday cards are sure to help families feel closer together this holiday season-even if they're thousands of miles apart," says Teresa Goforth, Executive Director of The U.S. Wounded Soldiers Foundation. "We're thrilled to help dotPhoto bring the Wishes From Home program to families around the world."
