Oh this is just the sweetest most brilliant and special idea!

Dyal Studios, a photography and design studio in Jacksonville, started a “hug-a-hero” doll giveaway a couple of weeks ago after many North Carolina troops were deployed, Tricia Dyal, the studio’s owner, told McClatchy News.

Each doll has a photo of the child’s deployed mom or dad printed on it!

Tricia, whose husband is a retired Marine, started the company Daddy Dolls, which sells the “hug-a-hero” dolls, with one of her friends 15 years ago, she said.

And as always, sending prayers and support to our troops.
