Hillary'sLovelyLegs has three packed boxes ready to go to the USS Kennedy but she needs some children's drawings because the troops love them.

She adds, "This is a plea for all parents and grandparents to have their children draw pictures or send letters to the USS Kennedy so our troops are not forgotten. All the letters I have receieved from the Kennedy say that they thought that no one remembered that we were still fighting a war since they were not on the first wave of soldiers."

If you know any youngsters, please encourage them to draw pictures and write letters to the servicemen and women who put their lives on the line daily in defense of our country.

There are 4 children outside right now, seated at a table with paper and crayons. I'll see what they came up with in a few minutes.

Thanks mountaineer! Hubby's taking a break so I thought I'd stop by with some links for coloring pages. They can be printed out and then the kids can go to town. These are links for patriotic ones but you'll see there are lots of other subjects to choose from.
