Every now an then I post something completely off topic. Just because I like it, it is something
important or something worth remembering…
I received this email from a friend stationed overseas quite a while back. I saved it, intending
to post it on the proper day which would have been yesterday. Better a little late than never!
I hope it puts a smile on your face and in your heart!
A tribute to a man who DID make a difference…and to Our Troops!
