I bought some mini lint-rollers and a sketch pad as well. For the vets, the packages also included some clothes. Our student vet was very impressed with the quality of the books people brought, and said he'd had to read stuff like Bridget Jones' Diary while he was deployed.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-89702590614341587102012-11-19T16:20:48.565-07:002012-11-19T16:20:48.565-07:00Annalisa, wow, I imagine that is definitely a sigh...Annalisa, wow, I imagine that is definitely a sight. <br /><br />Medeia, I feel the same way about old photos.

My other grandpap (the one who's still living) was in the Navy in WWII, but never saw combat. All of my great-uncles were also in various branches of the service, and at least one of my great-grandpaps was in the Army in WWI.<br /><br />Last week one of the student groups I'm in did a huge event, SOS&V (Serving Our Soldiers and Veterans). We bought supplies for care packages for area vets and soldiers stationed overseas, decorated the flaps of the boxes with words and pictures we cut out of newspapers and magazines, and heard from two young area vets, one of whom is currently a student.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-56605944318179465732012-11-14T17:08:27.004-07:002012-11-14T17:08:27.004-07:00Those are great photos.
