Today started out rough for me but was greatly improved by Operation Homefront!!! I wish I personally knew who to thank, but I will have to settle for a blog-thanks! I came home after an early trip to base and went to check my email. I saw a notice about a clothing give-away. It said Carter's clothing, but honestly I figured it was named after someone. Nope. It was really Carter's kids clothes. I went in with the girls. Filled out a very small amount of information and was told I could collect 10 items per child!!!! As you can see, we made out like bandits! But do you know what the best part was? Every single person there (and I think they were ALL volunteers) had a smile on their face! We were treated like royalty and they even apologized to me for not having a better selection of size 6 clothing for our oldest. I was touched beyond words by the people and of course the free clothes!!! I don't know that they will ever see this, but THANK YOU OPERATION HOMEFRONT and thanks to all the people who were there working to make our day be such a blessing.
Now if you have a moment follow my link above and go check out what all Operation Homefront does. Amazing.

I read your blog. I work for Operation Homefront National HQ's. We really appreciate your posting. It keeps us motivated to keep doing the work we do. A special thanks also to KIDS who donates the Carter's clothing to us to distribute to military families. Thanks again! I'll pass your comments along to the rest of our staff!
My name is Vicki Sarracino and I also work for Operation Homefront in the National office. Can you e-mail me at vicki@operationhomefront.net and let me know the state this event was held in? I would like to praise the chapter that held the event. I think I know which one it was but want to make sure. Thank you and we appreciate your husbands service and your support of all he does.
