Little tidbit about Mom...

My mother was a 5 foot nuthin' Italian woman, who had no trouble smacking down whomever needed it. But she DID have a soft spot: those is the service.

When AD posted this, it reminded me of the way Mom was: she'd think nothing of having an entire platoon over for dinner, if an intact platoon was nearby. She was the type of woman who would've invited soldiers or sailors who were stuck on base for the holidays to dinner, had any bases been nearby...

So let's see what we can do here, folks. Go to YIKES!, and read about operation: Love from Home. Send a card or three. Let a servicemember know that the people he's sworn to protect appreciate his sacrifice...
