Donating to Soldiers
Just got finished watching a video with this man in the Navy, sewing patches on his Navy blouse, my son retired from the Air Force, so I know what most of the soldiers have to go through.. getting patches sewn on.. I was able to sew a few for my son, but he was stationed quite a distance from me, so that meant he had to pay someone to sew the patches on. Most patches cost the soldiers $3.00 each, everytime the soldier gets a promotion they have to have new patches.. sometimes it can be up to 4 or 5 patches. What I was thinking that if anyone that lives close to a military base and can't donate anything other than some volunteer time, it would be nice to offer to sew patches on for these soldiers, that would be a way of giving back, and saving them money. I know there has to be a lot of young people that have just joined the military and sure could use the help.
