I don’t think any further comment is necessary. Please share this with friends.
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!
