Supporting the Troops — What it Means
A poster today used the phrase “101st Chairborne” to describe the faux-supporters of the military. I like it.
This story, however, is about people who actually GET IT.
True support, to me, includes not just supporting their actual mission — it includes supporting the families they leave behind, providing some semblance of home comforts to those serving remotely (like the USO), and caring for their injuries while honoring their service when they come home.
This group is doing (to borrow a phrase) God’s work. Reaching out to their neighbors in need and letting them know in very real ways that they’re not alone, and help is nearby.
I love these folks, and I love this story.
