Carole, you’re absolutely right…no further comment IS necessary. You can bet I’ll be sharing this with all on my email list. I hope others do the same. I know where my donations will be going from now on. Thank you for the info.
Hi Deb! Good to see you.
I try to remember what my grandfather used to say about who actually helped the boys in the field during the war. I can’t remember if it was the salvation army or the red cross. I wish I could remember!
