Many times even if we do think of our servicemen and women and the sacrifices they make for us we don't always remember that the whole family serves and sacrifices not just the person in uniform.

I'm a big fan of OWH, so was also going to mention their ongoing need to you. They just got a NEW request to help serve 5000 sailors, so the need is definitely there. My local VFW requests handmade cards, so I donate to them, but whatever gets cards to our military personnel in order for them to have something special to send home is OK by me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683094014232133033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-59926617255507936382012-08-07T10:11:20.364-04:002012-08-07T10:11:20.364-04:00Wow, Susan.
