USO

Please click on this link USO, to help our service men and women at home and abroad, even if you cannot give please post this link on your blog or Facebook, or Twitter or Google + this blog.  The Christmas season for me isn't about family, because as we all know I don't have one, and I don't "borrow" families from my friends or coworkers, I just chill with a book I buy off Amazon, and enjoy my paid day off.  This season for me is about the freedoms I enjoy as a woman, and as a human being because I was lucky enough to be born on American soil.  Those of us that are lucky to be naturalized citizens, seem all too often to take our freedom for granted and sadly some people die never truly grasping the sacrifices made by life and limb of the men and women of our armed forces, both past and present. 

We cannot hide under the blanket of naivete, we know people are coming home in body bags, and on stretchers, and wheelchairs.  Our troops and their families are suffering needlessly.  I just wish we could all work together to show our support, respect and gratitude and love by helping our troops, even in it's smallest measure of passing on a link to the USO, or inviting a family of a service person over for dinner, or volunteering a day at your local VFW. 

I've always tried to be a better person than I was the day before, to leave the Earth a better place than I found it.  Even a grain of sand increases the depth of the ocean.  Be the change you want to see in the world, and always lead by positive example.
