So Very Proud of the Military!
April 29, 2010: I had planned to tell everyone about how awesome the US Air Force Band Concert was at Lincoln High School (there were over 1000 people there!) on April 25 – also our 35th wedding anniversary, but a phone call we received this afternoon changed that.Our oldest grandson is in the Navy. Last time we had talked, he told me he had put in for an assignment that would have him assigned to an Army Unit and he really wanted this assignment. So being a good Granny, I told him we were hoping he would get it. And meant every word of it! Today he called to say he got it! He will soon start the rotation of bases he will be sent to for training before he will be deployed to Afghanistan.I told him about our Thank You Veterans Project and he was “blown away” when I told him we now have bed & breakfasts in 20 States who will be providing a minimum of one room FREE OF CHARGE to anyone with a valid Military ID on November 10, 2010 so they are on-site for any Veterans Day activities. (Shinnston has a parade and a program at the Museum). We expect to have B & Bs participating in all 50 States by September. Gillum House is making two rooms available for November 10 – the third room will not be rented that night. GOD Bless our Veterans!
