Well they had plans for the soldiers to come home for Thanksgiving, but the Unit could not pay for 40 soldiers out of unit funds which left $ 800 to $1000 dollars total for the soldiers to come home to their families.
The local radio station put out a call for donations to be delivered to the local VFW tomorrow.
Within seconds of the call the radio station got a call from someone whom donated the total amount to bring these soldiers home to their families for Thanksgiving.
The local radio guy told the man that he was incredibly generous to fund the soldiers like this and the guy said no, he wasn’t “It costs $20 dollars a soldier to send these boys home and that’s nothing compared to what their sacrificing for their country”.
I am both speechless and humbled by the generosity of the American people.
Thank you one and all from a former soldier and a special thank you to the man from Lincoln NE.
Thanks for the story. That is what makes this country great..... people like that are the norm.
bttt
Terrific story.
