Only 14...

Fifth graders at Puesta del Sol Elementary learned about the Civil War. In fact, they got to act out the Civil War in their classrooms over a month time span. They were assigned ranks and organized into platoons. They even could dress up as a soldier if they choose to! What an awesome learning experience!

They also learned that freedom is not free...someone has to pay for it.

The United States of America's Military pays a hefty price for our freedom.

Much larger than most of us realize...

- births are missed

- first steps, first words, and many other "firsts" are missed

- anniversaries go uncelebrated

- birthdays go by

- weddings happen

- beloved family members are lost

All while a soldier is deployed protecting our rights, our freedom, and our safety.

These kids took a little time to just write a note to say THANK YOU!

As a veteran, this is a beautiful thing to see...

We collected $10 donations to provide our troops with Mary Kay SPF 30 Sunscreen and goody bags. And we collected a lot!

Now, we are packing our boxes for Soldiers' Angels to distribute to the troops.

There is only one, little problem...

There are 14.

14 unsponsored soldiers.

14 soldiers who won't read a thank you.

14 soldiers who won't know how much they mean to us.

14 soldiers who won't smile as they open their gift from us.

14 soldiers who are away from home, away from their families, missing out on all sorts of things.

Lets not let these 14 soldiers miss out on this...

Would you consider sponsoring one of the 14?

If so, please contact me today. Our package will leave the first business day of July.

Thank you!
