Salvation Army Sells Wedding Ring Left By Couple

ATLANTA (AP) - A couple's unusual move to donate the bride's wedding ring _ believed to be worth several thousand dollars _ during the Salvation Army's annual kettle drive will help food banks and other programs after it is auctioned off.

The couple, who are trying to guard their identity, walked up to a bell ringer on Dec. 22 and handed her a package with the ring and a note on the back that said although the two were still deeply in love that the Salvation Army could make better use of the diamond ring than they could. The brief note closed with the words "All for Jesus."

"She wanted to make it count," said Maj. Henry Hunter of the Dalton Corps of the Salvation Army. "A lot of lives will be touched through her generosity."

Editors Notes: I recently learned that the TOTAL brought in for 2010 for the Salisbury Salvation Army was $195,000.00. This number is just remarkable, THANKS TO YOU! The goal for the past two years was to reach $200,000.00 and I'd say, CLOSE ENOUGH!
