What I do every day pales in comparison to what these men and women do for people like you and me, putting their lives on the line and making sacrifices that you and I never could. The next time you see a soldier, take a few minutes, stop, and shake thier hand and thank them for what they do.

Sorry, no disrespect to sailors meant, I'm not a military guy. So I should extend to the offer to soldiers and sailors? Does that cover everybody?

When I said soldier, I meant all branches of service.

Catawissa? I have a house in shenandoah. I'm pretty sure I drank at the "hosey" in Catawissa with my wife's cousin. Know any of the Polaconis

I've told my Son in Afganistan to spread the word. Some of his unit will start getting some RR in October.

I'll feed the whole unit. Send them up my way.

They're in the sandbox getting shot at, and I'm here in the airconditioning?

It's the least I can do...

Maybe even post an ad on your local craigslist pages, maybe draw up some fliers to drop around the local mall/shopping center stores (wouldn't suggest fliers on cars, those are annoying and only create litter). How about contacting your local news, they may be interested in doing a quick story on it to get the word out as well. I could probably come up with some other ideas, but I suppose I should get some work done today.

Great idea by the way!

Good idea on the National Guard, am already hitting the VFWs and American Legions. Thanks for the FB idea, it just takes time to set it up.

Thank you for your continued interest.
