By Kristin Mattern,

Every so often, something comes along that evokes an emotion. Bands for Arms bracelets are that kind of item. The unique bracelets are hand-crafted by volunteers and constructed out of donated pieces of old military uniforms, which were worn by our military men and women. 50 percent of the profits go to not-for-profit organizations that help our service members.

Founder Nicanor Padrigo Mendoza III believes that all U.S. military service members need to be able to feel connected to their loved ones back home. After the loss of his friend in 2009, he wanted to find a way to help service members make that happen. He also desired to spread the word of the physical, mental, and emotional hardships that our armed forces endure and to provide support for those men and women.

This Valentine’s Day, CupidsPulse.com will be giving away two bracelet/tee-shirt bundles from Bands for Arms which contain five bracelets to give your friends and family and one Military tee-shirt  that supports breast cancer!
