The REALTORS® who participate in this DNDIRP website donate thousands of dollars to charities and support groups in your area each year. In 2007, a special limited edition print was commissioned to support families of military members. The print is available at your local Military Family Resource Centre.

The theme 'Families Helping Families' shows both military members in theatre of operations assisting local civilians in need and military families at home supporting their loved ones who are serving their country abroad.

A yellow ribbon symbolizes support for Canadian military personnel. The yellow ribbon flows through an outline of Afghanistan, through the initials MFRC and, finally, through an image of Canada to form the 'Support our Troops' symbol. The MFRC is positioned to reflect its role as a primary support network for Canadians serving overseas and their families who await their return at home.

Centered above is a ghosted Airbus that often transports our troops to and from deployments and, to the left of the image, the words 'Thank You' in the Afghan language illustrates their appreciation of our military effort. The black shading in the background symbolizes, 'from darkness comes hope'.

Some of the images in this print were based on photographs provided by the Department of National Defence Combat Camera Unit. These dedicated military photographers provide high quality, unique photographs that can be seen at www.combatcamera.forces.gc.ca.
