There's a place in heaven for the sons and daughters who defend our country. I always knew there was a place there for my son (retired, 30 years Navy) and his buddies. They are always doing things for special need groups. When he was over seas he would ask us to send care packages with candy which was singly wrapped to hand out to the children.
Today I was shopping at one of my favorite scrounging stores "Dollar Tree" for some small inexpensive bag stuffers that my seniors might not have access to in the Nursing home. I bought some small box containers which would hold items on a dresser, some pens, pencils, small spiral notebooks and erasers. I'm still looking for items to fill their goody bags with.
At the check out there was a gentleman. He was about 39. He was purchasing a boat load of sticker sheets and pencils; which were beautiful bright colors. I commented, "Someone is having a great birthday party." He commented, "I am being sent to Guatemala, they are for the kids."
He's in the Air Force.
Our Children defend the rights of others in foreign countries, but they also spread the word without saying a thing, "Love makes the world go round". (They do this on their own dime and time)
Don't forget to thank someone's son or daughter for keeping America free.
