Lil' things mean a lot to the TROOPS
Here is a soldier stationed in Iraq, stationed in a big sand box. He asked
his wife to send him dirt, fertilizer and some grass seeds so he can have
the sweet aroma and feel the grass grow beneath his feet. If you notice, he
is even cutting the grass with a pair of a scissors. Sometimes we are in
such a hurry that we don't stop and think about the little things that we
take for granted. Upon receiving this, please say a prayer for our
soldiers that give (and give up) so unselfishly for us.
"GOD BLESS AMERICA - IN GOD WE TRUST"

My nephew John and his best friend are proud Marines in Iraq now. I will pack a few extra things in a package to send tomorrow.
Here is a picture of John holding my daughter just before heading to Iraq.

I think I can speak for many here. Tell them we wish them a safe return and give them a big THANKS from us on OSO. We appreciate all they are doing.
