The Love Goes Both Ways
The last few weeks, you've heard a lot about different ways to support the Troops. Today brought a great reminder that the love and support does indeed flow both ways.
Last February, I met Amy Hammonds at the Soldier's Angels Executive Meeting. Amy has been taking care of a soldier since she joined Soldier's Angels in 2005, and on this deployment she has even been taking care of his team.
Last week, she got an instant message from him, saying he had sent her something. She responded that he didn't have to do that, and he replied
"i got a special surprise for you coming very soon since you been getting me all spoiled now its my turn and believe me you are not ready for this one at all."
Amy expected a card. Instead, she got...
A footlocker.
A footlocker with instructions that only she could open it.
A footlocker that was filled with 45 beanie babies and a Mother's Day card.
"Even though your not our mom in body , but a surrogate adoptive one you have been, To the Soldiers' Angels Thank you”
It goes both ways. Never forget that.
