When I was shopping at the base today, I picked up one of those yellow, plasticy-rubbery bracelets marked "Until They All Come Home." It was only 99 cents. What a bargain. And the best part is that (as I understand it) the retailer pledges 10% of the proceeds of the sale to this nonprofit organization founded my mothers of soldiers serving overseas. They have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for troops, veterans and their families. Find them at www.mothersofmilitarysupport.com.
