Before I became involved in Soldiers’ Angels, I mostly never noticed the Veterans among us. My Father was a Navy Vet and I knew some of my Brothers’ friends had served, but I never thought much of it.

So, how did I wind up an active member of Soldiers’ Angels? Oddly enough, I started by reading an article in “Popular Mechanics” about the DustOff  Pilots and the Medivac operations in Iraq. That took me link by link around the internet until I landed on the Soldiers’ Angels site. And, I adopted my first soldier.

Today is Veterans Day.  Thank a Veteran, hug a Veteran, take a Veteran to lunch!! I did all three today!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!

10 Things That Make Me Happy

  1. Giving and receiving a bear hug from one of “my” Marines. (Thank You Justine – I really needed that hug!!)
  2. Seeing a smile on a formerly grumpy face when I say “Thank You for Your Service”.
  3. Getting a letter back from someone I don’t even know in response to a note I wrote them.  I know military personnel that are deployed are BUSY, and it means a lot to hear from them.
  4. Having a whole houseful of people I don’t know show up to pack boxes to send overseas.
  5. Getting offers of help from people I meet while standing in line at the Post Office.
  6. People that, when I ask for one small thing for the troops, go over and above, not only giving what I ask, but more.
  7. The community of bloggers that work so hard to promote the Valour-IT fundraiser and let me participate, even though I am nowhere near the caliber of writer that they are.
  8. The great support from our whole community for our troops.
  9. Knowing that the little things we do will have a positive affect on the morale and well-being of our deployed troops and their families.
  10. Seeing the fund raising thermometer go UPPPPP!!!! Go Marine Team!!!!

Across every generation, at war and at peace, America has asked her citizens to protect liberty and defend freedom at all costs. No matter the terrain or political climate, America’s Warriors have met every challenge and made every sacrifice that was asked of them in order to defeat our enemies and protect our way of life. The Warrior Legacy Foundation is a passionate advocate for the preservation and elevation of the hallowed legacy of the American Warrior Class.

Join us and stand firm in defense of the heritage of those brave souls who have preserved and protected our sovereignty throughout our great nation’s history.

They have asked for nothing and have given us everything.”
