I’ve been handing out these cards for years

I’ve been handing out these cards for years – airports are the best place to do it – soldiers don’t expect them.  Sometimes, you can just slip them into their backpacks and disappear. Then the find it and look around – it’s kind of cool,,I volunteer at the VA Hospital in Mpls. The other day, I was talking to a 90 year old WWII vet. He didn’t want to take the card, “It was my job, you see. I was a blacksmith and they needed me.” I insisted – he finally took the card and the smile on his face later made my persistence worthwhile.,,Yesterday’s soldiers looked at their role as a job; they understood the threat to humanity. Today’s soldiers also understand but unfortunately, too many non-soldiers do not understand. The ratio of active FT military to non-military population is 200:1. We must support them any way we can – these cards provide an excellent way to show support.,,Richard, you’ve done a great job!
