HOOAH!!!!!

Today was a great day! What could be better than spending the day supporting our troops? For me...nothing!  I am a fan and volunteer of a great organization called Survivor Joe.com.   This organization makes hand woven bracelets out of military paracord  and sells them for a nominal donation.  These bracelets are used by our troops in all branches of the military as survival gear as well as a way to build moral and a sense of "oneness" among  each other. For every bracelet that is purchased we DONATE a bracelet to a serviceman or servicewoman.  The person who purchases the bracelet has the option to write a personal message to a soldier that we attach to the bracelet. All the proceeds from the donations go to helping Survivor Joe send these bracelets and other care packages to deployed troops.  It feels good to be able to give back in a small way to the men and women who give so much of themselves.

 So many nice people came by the booth and donated their hard earned money for this great cause.  To all of you - thank you so much for your support.  With my son having recently enlisted and now in Basic - my perspective on this whole "military" issue has evolved .  I respect all the men and women who have made the choice (and it is a choice) to serve our country.  I am honored to be the parent of one such person and grateful to him and all the others for the sacrifices made on our behalf.

So if you have a minute check out   http://survivorjoe.com/  it's worth your time.

To all of our soldiers:
Be strong and courageous!  Do not be terrified or discouraged.  For the Lord your God is with you  wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9
