I Just Keep Talkin'.....
I was listening to one of the Tampa radio stations on the way to work yesterday and they had the greatest call come in.
It was from one of the local teachers. Seems this station has something going where listeners can send in post cards and they forward them to the troops.
Made me smile.
Then it got better. I guess one of the cards got to a female helicopter pilot. She was from the area, and got in contact with the teacher and has made arrangements to visit while she is home on leave.
Made me smile even bigger.
It works, folks. Those letters, cards and notes make a difference.
THEN...I went to lunch with one of the girls from the local office. I don't remember how we got on the subject but somehow we were discussing the Military and support. She mentioned her daughter has adopted a soldier and is very careful to send something every single week.
Then she spotted the Soldiers Angels pin on my purse. That is who she went through to adopt her soldier. We started talking about how great an organization they are and got on to me telling her about Valour IT and Sew Much Comfort.
That made me smile to spread the word a bit more.
Anyone who knows me....EVERY one who knows me knows that I support our Military men and women - and their families - 110%. No if's and's or but's about it. I've said it here, and I've said it in the "real world" - THEY are my heroes.
I know we talk about these organizations amongst ourselves, especially during fund raisers. But....please don't put them in a closet and dust them off only for those special occasions. Day in and day out, these people do GREAT things and day in and day out they need our support. And to keep everything going we HAVE to expand beyond the blogisphere.
So spread the word. Talk 'em up. You'd be AMAZED at all the positive reactions you'll get.
