A Veteran’s Day Activity

by This is Carrie on November 10, 2009

I’m loving my new calling at church: planning bi-monthly activities for girls ages 8-11.
Our first activity together?
Writing letters to soldiers and veterans and boxing up all the candy for Operation Gratitude.

As an Army spouse it means a lot that our soldiers serving over seas and those who have fulfilled their Military duty are not forgotten. Please remember to include our Wounded Warriors as well. Kind words and thoughts help them to continue their road to recovery.
