Hello 'CUTE' family - I just wanted to share this with you and hope that you will do this - when you see any military coming back or in a parade or anything that is local >>>>>more>>>>>>>

This is lovely! If anyone wants to get in on sending things to the troops but doesn't have an "in", go join Cassandrasembroidery@yahoogroups.com and ask about the gifts for the troops. She has some embroidery patterns that people can get for free if they then use them to make the items for the troops and mail them to her. She is going to send off a huge package soon and another in the late fall. There is a link to her group from her website.

Thank-you so much Shirlene. We owe these soldiers so much; now we can easily say "thank-you"! *4U

Dkjack, my late DH was a Marine, so you are part of my family. Oorah! What they do/did will never be forgotten, and always appreciated, at least in this house! I buried him in his dress blues, because for everything else he did in his life, a Marine was what he truly was, first & foremost. My best to all who have anyone in any branch of service. I wouldn't have the freedom to type this if you didn't. Thank you. Marji

THANK YOU
can we do alist of thank yous and send to both military and faimly (They give there children wives ect)

Hi cuties just wanted to share.I live in a place called Medowie,it is about 5 minutes away from the William Town RAAF(Royal Australian Air Force) base.95% of pople that live here are military & most have been to Iraq, Afghanastan,Egypt,Bosnia & where ever they are needed.Our family has been on support for some of our closest friends,while their husbands/faters have been over seas.they don't say alot about what goes on over there.But can only imagine,after seeing a few documentries on the subject.My heart goes out to them all.

Thanks Shirlene. our boys are coming home soon and I am sure every one of them would appreciate this 8 4U

Actions speak louder than a million words . . . .

I just love this... I had to stop and email this out to my girls and I normally don't send things unless I really think they are cool! Thank you Shirlene,, you are one of the many people on this site that keep reminding me that people are really cool and I am blessed by god in many ways! flowers and hugs for you!!!!

Thank you Shirlene. No matter what country we live in, Let us try to show our gratitude. Wonder how well this would go/work in Canada? There is this thing here in Canada (Edmonton anyhow) thru a Christian radio station to buy the coffee for the soldier in line-up next time for coffee.. I had bought a Tim Hortons coffee for a soldier once and gratitude he had cannot be compaired to gratitude I have for him serving my country. Also we have what we call "Red Friday" in remembrance for those who serve our country. We wear red clothing on Fridays, I always try to wear red on Fridays now and even made a special Red Canadian leaf scrub top for work. *4U ><>

My brother-in-law is in the army and has gone to Afghanastan a few times and Egypt and Bosnia. It is very hard on my sis and niece when he is gone.

My heart goes out to your father. He saw more than anyone should ever see. Just show him your love.

by marymoore 04 Jun 2008

yes he did he is not with us anymore he is in a better place it turned him into a alcoholic and it killed him

Thank You and I will pass this on as if it is the only thing we can do then it is what we should do.
God bless the military for what they do for not just there homeland but for all mankind to bring securiety peace and love to all and that is what they do .And they love they show us by doing it.They sacrifice there safty for our.

Thank you all for your sincere comments. You made me cry. Guess my son is taking everything better than me. My husband was in Viet Nam and Dessert Storm and came home safe. Our son says he feels lucky because he is better of than most of the men and women coming home. He is a very proud to be a Marine and we are very proud of him. Love to you all.

dkjack, I can't tell you how my heart hurts to hear this. Please tell him I love him for protecting my freedom and the freedom of my great country. Tell him, too, that I know if not for men like him I might not be enjoying that freedom and that God will bless him for putting himself in harms way to stand for that which is right.

by dkjack 03 Jun 2008

Thank you. He would go again if the Marines would let him. My husband feels the same. Our men and women in the military are special people and I know that God watches over them all.

Thank you Shirlene. My son had three tours to Iraq and the last one was not good. He is adapting to his disability but I know it means a lot to him when someone he doesn't know comes up and says thank you. He has told me he would go back again, but of course he is not able to. Bless you for caring.

dkjack, please tell theat wonderful son of your that I appreciate him and his service - I am so sorry that he has a disablitiy - that is never fair - but I do know one thing - God helps with that as well. He will be stronger for having done this. What a man. *4U

by shirlener88 02 Jun 2008

If no one else sees this - it was worth sharing to know about him, too!

by clawton 02 Jun 2008

Please let your son know that there are many people that appreciate what he has done and had to sacrificed! We just wish he did not have to give up so much.

by dkjack 03 Jun 2008

Thank you, we can never tell our brave men and women enough how much we appreciate and care for them.

Have you ever seen one of our military walking past you and wanted to convey to them your thanks, but weren't sure how or it felt awkward?

Recently, a gentleman from Seattle created a gesture which could be used and has started a massive movement to get the word out.

Please everybody take just a moment to watch.... The Gratitude Campaign ...and then forward it to your friends!
