Never a need to say thank you to me. Just my duty. However, we all need to say thanks to those serving and protecting our country. My favorite news items of the day:

Founded with the motto “They’ll sleep better so we’ll sleep better,” a nonprofit group formed by a pair of Beaufort military moms aims to help troops deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan get a better night’s rest.

Barbara Farrior was watching a segment on NBC’s “The Today Show” last week about a Midland Park, N.J., sewing school that had sent more than 1,000 pillows to troops overseas. With her own son set to deploy to Iraq in less than two months, Farrior decided to take action.

“I called up a friend and asked if she wanted to sew some pillows,” Farrior said. “I saw the pictures of those guys sleeping under Humvees and wherever they could and thought, ‘You think you’ve had a bad night’s sleep.’ “

If you want to help out, you can contact Barbara Farrior at 843-525-9262 or email her: bfarrior@charter.net.
