« Go back to the circle

  • juliepippert Every year since the war began, I've sent care packages to troops. They've been getting bigger each year. Seems like the longer people are fighting, the longer they are away from their families...the more I need to do in support of them.

    This year, I started thinking about a friend and how her husband was re-deployed, again. I wondered about these families that have to say hello and goodbye so often -- although she and so many others are so wonderfully eloquent and open about it that there is little actual wondering involved, other than "what would I do?"

    My friend's husband got leave to come home for the holidays -- yea! -- but he left behind other members of his unit. So I said, "What can I do?"

    Her husband asked his unit members, they generously shared their names and APO address, and I thought, "Who else can help?"

    That's when I turned to my SeaWorld WildSide buddies. They all signed up to help without hesitation.
