I have mixed feelings about Scouting, but I kind of love it when I wake up to flags up and down my block. Today it’s for Veterans Day!
I think it is a little bit disingenuous when people say they support the troops but not the war. Unless you really do support the troops, by sending them letters or treats. Then you are off the hook. So here are some great ways to remember the troops over the holidays, via this cute blog with a touching post on what it means to be a military family. I know we are all grateful for what these families sacrifice so we can enjoy our way of life.
Treats for Troops: Sending Soldiers Packages
Any Solider. I really like this one because you can choose a specific soldier and send them what they request. Plus, they say that letters and e-mails are the best kind of support, and that makes me happy.
Troop Care Package. This woman in Pennsylvania accepts actual items in addition to money, which seems slightly more hands on than just writing a check or whipping out your credit card.
