Hey, I used to enjoy the free beers. But if you'd feel better buying jewelry, my wife has been wanting a new tennis bracelet.

I can guarantee you that there is many many people doing lots for our troops. I've been to both Walter Reed and Bethesda Naval hospital and the Red Cross has run out of room to store the donated items. Just this past Wednesday my brother and I took some long distance phone cards to Bethesda Naval Hospital and I asked the USMC Liaison Officer if they were getting all they need from the public, he looked at me with a huge smile on his face and said "The outpouring of support is incredible"

Who says we don't love our Military men and women
Medea Benjamin and her Code Pink crowd; John Kerry; Jane Fonda; Pudge Murtha; the population of San Francisco...for starts.

It works the other way, too.
I'm so proud of my son who called me from Iraq and told me to take $500 and clean out all Wal-mart's Lego and send it over for kids of Iraqis he knows. "I'll reimburse you when I get back , Dad. I'm making plenty of money." He's in his 3rd deployment with 5th SFG.

Sounds to me like there are going to be a lot of disappointed little future architects in Cook County this year...

A Marine who's planning to marry a Texan got an early Christmas present: A fellow shopper picked up the tab for a $3,000 diamond engagement ring after the two struck up a conversation in a jewelry store. The 54-year-old Dallas woman who paid for the 1-carat, princess cut diamond ring wants to remain anonymous, Helzberg Diamonds spokeswoman Stacey McBride told The Associated Press on Friday.
The woman's father was in the military, her brother was a Marine who died in Vietnam and her nephew just got back from Iraq, McBride said.

Not quite as impressive but I knew two seminary students who were eating at a restaurant in New Orleans. A lady was at a table next to them, waiting on her husband.
They struck up a conversation with her. When she found out they were two preachers, she handed them a hundred dollar bill and said she wanted to pay for their meal. She was Mike Ditka's wife.

What a great story! That lady sure had the Christmas spirit, and the spirit of a Patriot!
God bless her and the happy couple.
