An Award-Winning Salute…with Gingerbread!
How some people showed their gratitude__________
Yes, it’s true — this Soldier and the care package before him are made out of gingerbread (and other edibles)!
Jennifer Elmore’s amazing “A Soldier’s Christmas” is among the Top-10 ribbon winners of the 22nd Annual National Gingerbread House competition.
As the daughter of a now-retired two-star U.S. Army general, Jennifer knows all about military 
families and her work is a tribute to them.
“I hope in some small way this honors the sacrifices service members and their families make for us every day, but especially at this time of year,” she says.
We are very grateful that Jennifer (pictured here with her husband, Mike) chose to use her talents to highlight Operation Gratitude’s work. Look carefully at the photo up top and you can see Operation Gratitude’s logo on the gingerbread care package!
Jennifer is a Wells Fargo team member, and you can read more about her special creation in the company’s recent blog post:
