Dear Hero Supporters!

Happy November!

The other day, while I was packing boxes for the mail today and getting the update letter out, I received an email from a lady in Katy Texas. Her son told her that for his 7th Birthday Party he wanted to do something special. He wanted a MILITARY party and he wanted his guests to bring something they could send to someone serving overseas. He wanted to send them to someone in Iraq or Afghanistan. She said the party was a huge success. The kids made cards and wrote letters to go along with the gifts they brought and NOW that Wyatt had all of his "gifts" he needed somewhere to send them. She had been searching all day and when she googled: "sending care packages to the military in Iraq" my website www.SupportingOurHeroes.com came up and she emailed me immediately.

Monica got her address within about 5 minutes. I am amazed at the connection but will put that blessing where it belongs and Thank God for my new friends in Katy, Texas. Wyatt so reminds me of our Andrew in that when he was six years old he insisted we buy a Thanksgiving Dinner Box for the Firemen at the Borger Fire Department. And for every Thanksgiving since, he has made sure they had their Thanksgiving Dinner Box. When he has been home, he personally delivered the dinners and while at College, called home to remind me to "get 'r done!" How awesome our youngsters are and how blessed we are to know them and have them with us to teach us how to show appreciation to our HEROES by just the most simple things. A Birthday Party. A Dinner Box. How blessed we are. . . . .

Wyatt and his mom have certainly helped clean out my tear ducts and I'm sure the MARINES they send to will be very happy to hear from them.

With the holidays coming up, I want to ask that while you are shopping or planning parties or family gatherings, don't forget our HEROES. Our local HEROES, our HEROES standing for our FREEDOM overseas and our HEROES on bases here in the United States of America. If you have something special you would like to donate for the Support Boxes, please let me know and we'll make sure it gets mailed right away. We are updating our 'wish list" on the web site as it is winter now and our needs have shifted from things to keep cool to things to stay warm. If you have any questions or a truck load of things I need to pick up, (my biggest wish) call 806-898-0356 or email Jodi@supportingourheroes.com .

Thank you for "Supporting Our Heroes"
