Hope all you folks have a great day tomorrow. We live in large adult community about 25 miles north of Tucson, AZ. A lot of the folks that live here have son's, daughters and grand kids in the military and presently in harms way so memorial day is a time for us to remember what they are doing for us and our country. There is a cottage industry in our community that puts together packages of stuff that the AZ troops need. It gives us a lot of pleasure putting these packages together and we get nice notes back from the troops.
Next time you see a service person at the airport or anywhere, give them a smile or shake their hand. The other night, while out for dinner, a young soldier with his wife and child came in and sat near us. After we ate and before we left I gave them the usual thank you for your service smile and then I contacted their server and paid for their meal. If you get a chance maybe you could do the same every once in a while - it will really make you feel good.
