As the mother of a soldier serving "over there" I can assure you that the men appreciate ANY and ALL signs of support from home!
There is a 'wounded barracks' here at Camp LeJeune, Marine Corps base. Those guy's all got quilts when they were sent home, they've received Injured clothing from a group that's looking for people to sew, they've gotten dinners, and parties, but none of it makes up for the pain, of course, but it sure helps their spirit and every one of them, without exception have wanted to return to finish the mission. I stopped taking the news seriously when they continued to bemoan the lack of support of the US for the military.
Sorry, off my soap box and on my sewing machine, right now! lol lol
Yes, I love the brave and the honorable men and women of our military, all of them here and abroad. ANYTHING we do is better than sitting back and allowing the media to demoralize our brave!!!!
