One of the kindest people I have never met...

I hope it's ok that I'm doing this cj, but I just have to say a huge THANK YOU! You made the Troops holiday....your kindness will never be forgotten.


cj sent my Dh's troop a Christmas Tree and Decorations.....they had absolutely nothing for Christmas, and now they have something. Many of Trooper had tears in their eyes, when they found out someone who has never met any of them cared enough to send something so special.....I can never Thank You enough CJ!

I think we all know how special cj is! She has been dedicated to our troops for a very long time. We can all learn a valuable lesson from her. So big hugs to Cj and to your son mabear! Thank you for posting this.

Awwww! That is really sweet!

My dh still has his "Charlie Brown" tree from when he was deployed (sent it to him the first year, and then he took it with him the next time).

Speaking of Charlie Brown trees, I just finished up a little Christmas box for one of the young guys in Nicole's DH's troop. I'm sending this teeny-tiny tree (about 8" high). I didn't have any decorations for a tree that small, so I made "garland" by stringing those little erasers they sell by the dozen at the Big Party on some fishing line. Looks kinda cute actually....this guy is probably going to thing I'm a crazy lady. (He would be right, huh?!) Mini tree, mini stocking with his name on it. Thanks to CVS, he's getting a Phantom Fusion razor too. ( free after coupon and ECBs) They love those....and the Mach3. I really enjoy doing this!
