Well sweetie, those soldiers appreciate care packages from home, even if it isn't from their own home. My father is a veteran of WWII, Korea and VietNam and he sure appreciated letters (they didn't have email back then) and cookies and brownies. So don't go shooting off your mouth lightly. Unlike me picking and choosing cookies and snacks for an airplane, people who join the military and get shipped off don't get to choose where they are sent. And every little care package reminds them we care even if we don't approve of the war they are fighting. Jill |
