Do something nice and pass it on!

I saw this on Facebook the other day, and I truly believe that it's one of the best ideas I've come across in a long time. How many of us wouldn't take the opportunity to say "thank you" to one of our soldiers or sailors if it came up? How about a cup of coffee instead - a warm taste of home, particularly at a time when the weather is changing and the holidays are coming?

You can give any amount from $2 - which pays for one cup of coffee - up to whatever you wish. You can also send a note, and you have the option of leaving your email address for the beneficiary of your gift to be able to send you a thank you back. I did this the other day on behalf of Phil and I, and a couple of days later I got the nicest thank you back from a soldier serving in Afghanistan...Thad.

I know with the holiday season coming up, our economy in tatters and whatever else may be going on, extra money is hard to come by. BUT. $2? Can you spare $2 to buy one of our service-members a cup o' Joe? There are many feelings about us being in Iraq and Afghanistan in the first place, but I firmly believe that these men and women are just there doing a job they were told to do. They go where they are told, when they are told, and they like to be appreciated just as much (or more!) than the rest of us. It's the little things that can make a big difference in someone's day, and it doesn't get much smaller than $2.

Here's the website - I really hope that you all take the time to click on it and check it out:
