Hi Mr. Joe! Was not sure where to post this on your site because it did not pertain to what was already posted so I decided to send it to you.
I had to run an errand today no matter how bad the weather is. As I got home, I decided to check my mailbox. There at the mailbox also was a young man in full military uniform that was hard to not notice. I did not want him to think I was a nut case but I walked over to him and asked if I could shake his hand. He replied..Sure! I said..I would like to thank you personally for all that you do and I appreciate it. He smiled and said, Thank you Mamn. Let me tell you..his smile lit up my day today! He is someone's son, grandchild, brother, nephew or husband. I don't know but I no longer care about the dreary day. He has worse things to worry about when he is serving and I hope he has a good visit home here! Say thank you to anyone who is serving our country in person if you can. It's a wonderful feeling! Whoever you are young man..please stay safe!

As the mother of a returning vet I would like to thank you for this. When my son returned we had family and friends to meet him at the airport, as he was getting off the plane a young man with two sons walked up to him and handed him a fifty dollar bill and said thank you for protecting my sons. So never forget to thank a returning vet
Proud Mother of a Marine
this has really brought tears to my eyes, I have cousins in the military, I would so appreciate someone to go up to them and thank them because truly they are not thanked enough. THANK YOU!!!!!
Ever since 9/11 whenever I encounter a man or woman in uniform I say thank you for your service. It's amazing to me that each and every time I do this they all do the same thing - their faces light up with a smile and say you are welcome. It's heartwarming.
I give to the USO and send greetings to our troops overseas twice a year. For anyone with a little extra cash it's a good way to make a soldier's day.
Don't forget, you can adopt a soldier through Soldiers Angels (www.soldiersangels.org).
after reading this...I went on-line and signed up to be a Soldier's Angel and hopefully soon to become an Angel Baker! It feels so good to put my great-grandmother's recipes out there to those fighting for us. God Bless Them and Thank You for doing what I cannot.
