For those out there wondering if this stuff really makes any difference (stolen from another thread):

I WAS HUGGED BY A SOLDIER TONIGHT!!!
I went to the local military base to discuss flyers for these FReeps. I need to go back in the morning.

I then went to a local restaurant where I usually see soldiers. I pulled in and a car with 3 soldiers pulled in right next to me. After we were all seated I approached their table to thank them for their service. I was invited to sit down, at which time I pulled out my fryers and explained what we were doing. I also told them about WRAMC. As I discussed our wounded warriors, I teared up and the soldier I was seated next to threw his arms around me and gave me a hug. They started thanking me, but I said no, we do what we do to thank and support them.

The "hugger" said how much he appreciated what we are all doing ... his wife is in Iraq right now! One of the other soldiers has already been to Iraq and has volunteered and is waiting to go back. They were very excited about all the support rallies I told them about across the country.

I asked if they would have any use for the flyers. "Hugger" said yeah, I'll hang it up in the barracks. The "female" said put one in the bathroom, too! They ended up taking 3 of each of the 3 flyers I had.

Then I gave 1 each to the waitress and asked if they ever hung anything up around there. She took them to their manager who apparently read them over carefully and said they would like to put them up!

This is my "Update Bump" for the night. Back to coloring!
