Remember those who serve

So many great, compassionate, communal efforts start with one person who has a good idea to do something for others. When people hear it, the idea resonates with them and they step up to take part. It forms a groundswell of activism toward a good cause, and makes a difference for everyone involved.

Here’s one example, and a good for Memorial Day weekend.

May No Soldier Go Unloved is Book number one in a Series that chronicles the History of Soldiers Angels

Written by the Founders Husband, Book One Centers Around How Soldiers Angels Started and the Mission it set forth.

What’s the mission?

“Patti Patton Bader has the heart of Mother Teresa, the motivational mastership of Vince Lombardi, and the mobilization skills of Genghis Khan. She was raised an army brat; the great niece of the famous World War II General George S. Patton, daughter of decorated Vietnam Veteran Lt. Colonel David W. Patton, and brother of Iraqi War Veteran David Patton.

When her oldest son, Brandon, was sent to Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom, in the spring of 2003, she decided to send him at least one care package a day and keep a blog of the events that occurred in Iraq and Afghanistan as an electronic scrapbook for Brandon when he returned.

What started out as a mother’s small commitment to her son, soon turned into Soldiers’ Angels.”

The information, and ways to participate in the mission, are all there at the link on the Mudville Gazette.

The Books Will revolve around Soldiers Angels Motto

May No Soldier Go Unloved
May No Soldier Walk Alone
May No Soldier Be ForGotten
Till they All Come Home.

While they are still ‘over there’, we can remember them, and thank them.
