This is Remembrance Week. With our soldiers in such desperate need in this country, we the people they protect...we need to do what our government doesn't appear to be - we need to show them our thanks, we need to honor them and THEIR FAMILIES.
I have made three personal decisions:
1) To send a box out for the Chosen Soldier Program for Christmas
(http://www.trevlac.biz/Chosen_Soldier.htm)
This program offers the soldier a few creature comforts not provided by the Government. Things like word search books and hand sanitizer, baby wipes, licorice...little things that can mean soooo much. One box serves a group of 12 soldiers on average.
2) To write to my MP to ask for reform of the New Veteran's Charter
3) To attend an OUTDOOR Service on November 11th
That's how I intend to honor and support my troops, and how I intend to remember.
What are you doing? I want to hear from you.
