Did I Make A Difference?

Jack posted this video on his Multiply page, and I really like it so I thought I’d post it here. I wonder at times if what I’m doing makes a difference or not. Occasionally I will get an e-mail or a letter from one of our Warriors that lets me know I’ve made a difference to them, and that’s what keeps me doing what I do.

I printed almost 200 Guardian Angel cards last night, and will be laminating them this evening ~ the angels seem to be pretty popular with the heroes who get them. I would have printed 200, but a couple of pages mis-fed and messed up…rats!

I’ve got some more sheet sets ordered; Walmart.com had several on sale for $7.50 and $8.00 a set, so I bought 3 sets of striped sheets, 3 sets with a “circle” pattern, 2 sets of indigo blue, and 2 sets of black. To save shipping costs, I had them shipped to the local Wal-Mart store, and I got an e-mail yesterday that the print ones are ready to pick up. I’ll pick them up at my lunch break; it’s just a couple of miles from the office to Wal-Mart.  Then of course I’ll wash them before I package them up and send them to Afghanistan. I wouldn’t sleep on brand new sheets without washing them first; would you??

1st Lt. Cammack is now Capt. Cammack; I sent him a card of congratulations and told him we think “Captain Cammack” has a nice ring to it. His latest update on AnySoldier requests among other things “cushy toilet paper to pamper our butts.” He’s got such a way with words…LOL!! Next pay day I’ll have to pick up some “cushy toilet paper” for these Heroes; I don’t think that’s asking too much! Meanwhile, I’ll pack some baby wipes in the box with their new sheets – even baby wipes have to be better than the John Wayne toilet paper provided by the Army.

Grandbabies will be here any minute, and I have to get up from here and finish getting ready for work.  Y’all take care, and thanks for reading my blog. Everybody stay safe!
