Thanks for sharing this. I hope it motivates others to repeat the kindness and cause even more ripples :)

cabbage wrote: You know what else is cool---a LOT of our local businesses DONATED the gifts for the veteran "wish list"....even in this "down" economy, it is so lovely to see this generosity by our business owners. Lots of donations of toiletries, books, etc. were also collected from families.
