Due to inflation and the rising cost of paper, ink, and shipping, Hero Cards is moving away from doing a monthly printing of cards. The production of Hero Cards and stories will continue! But we’re combining the monthly printings into a few larger print runs each year—which will greatly reduce the cost of producing cards.
Besides inflation, another factor in this strategy is the growth of our Grateful Nation Project for schools and Veterans groups. There is an enormous opportunity to get these Heroes’ stories into more Americans’ hands, and we will be dedicating our efforts to expanding the Project nationwide. We believe that the Grateful Nation Project presents the most promising opportunity to share the stories of those who gave “the last full measure of devotion” for our freedom—with more Americans.
What’s happening with my Hero Cards membership?
We certainly value the support of our faithful members! Options for members include:
We can complete your membership year (12 Card Packs) by sending earlier Card Packs, or…
We will refund the remaining balance of your membership.
Members will receive an email requesting your preference.
Will Hero Card still be available if I’m not a school or Veterans organization?
Yes! The September LOYALTY Card Pack (cards 193-204) will be the last monthly printing. Previous monthly printings—Card Packs 1-17—will remain available for purchase from our Online Store while inventories last and reprinted as demand dictates.
As more Hero Cards and accompanying stories are added, we’ll be making those available from the Online Store as well—just not on a monthly basis or in the form of annual memberships. Whether future Card Packs will be in groups of 12, 50, 100, etc. is yet to be determined.
For those of you who would like to continue your Hero Cards collections, we’ll send out notices each time a new printing of cards occurs. Be sure to sign up for our e-updates so you never miss an announcement!
I believe in the Hero Cards mission. How can I help?
Our mission remains unchanged! We’re excited to continue producing these Heroes’ stories, to ramp up the expansion of our Grateful Nation Project, and to share their stories with more people! You can help the Project expand by contacting your local teachers, school admins, school districts, and Veterans organizations (American Legion/VFW post, for instance) and asking them to participate.

The production of Hero Cards and accompanying online stories will continue, with larger but less frequent print runs.
