Great post, I couldn't agree more.

I'm a father of one and a grandfather of two and I consider myself a strong person, but I cannot handle seeing innocent children hurt or harmed. My wife cringes when I watch the TV program "Save the Children" because I always call in and send them a check. I religously give to "Disabled American Veterans" and occasionally "Save the Children". I'm a softy for both causes.

When I was a teenager during the VietNam War I would visit my Cousin (who was like a brother to me)at Bethesda Naval Hospitol while he was recovering from injuries he suffered from an enemy land mine in VietNam, I saw so many young men who were permanently disabled and some of them would spend the rest of their lives in wheel chairs or a hospitol bed. It gave me nightmares to see so many horrible injuries. I will continue to support unfortunate children, our troops and our veterans as long as I am able to.

Oh your just a warm-hearted soul, God bless your heart! If I had a way, I would give to more causes like that, too! But I do what I can. Just don't change. I think God somehow rewards us for giving out of our hearts in ways we don't perceive at first.
