(this is a photo of a dear friend of mine during his tour in Iraq)while we celebrate with friends and/or family... let us not forget why we have our freedom. Let us also not forget those who still fight for it everyday.
You can visit HERE and learn how to send your support to any soldier overseas, any time. There's also a quick and easy online option HERE to send thanks...
My friend, who's pictured above, is someone I've known for 12 years - we've worked together for some time. He re-enlisted to active duty with the Army Reserve, after having served his "time" already, specifically for the opportunity to go to Iraq and stand by his fellow soldiers and fight for what this country stands for. He spent several months there, and while there, his days were often brightened by boxes of goodies that were sent to him by many people that knew him and worked with him back home.... I was glad to find an online resource that allows people to reach out to a soldier, even anonymously. The simplest of things meant so much to my friend...
