This Summer's Vacation
We are very short staffed at work so I only get one week off this summer. It starts Tuesday coming, 10 July, and ends on Wednesday the following week. I asked for that so I can go to Michigan for another day of packing 'go bags' for injured soldiers. My daughter and I went last year and helped to pack 90 of them. This year's goal is 300! This year daughter and I will also drag three other mother/daughter teams from our scout troop. I'm looking forward to the packing, it is another case of meeting on-line friends in real life.
The group is Operation: Quiet Comfort and the 'go bags' are just one of the projects they do. Our troop had collected items all year to donate, and items that didn't fit that group I sent via www.anysoldier.com to serving military.

That's a major grouch of mine, how today's citizen doesn't have to make the sacrifices of 'the greatest generation' and often forgets We Are At War. Ah, but I don't want to get into that today. Anyone not know I'm the wife of a Vietnam vet? LOL
