An Artist from My Home State of Utah and HER Soldiers

My friend May Lattanzio is at it again. She sent a link to ths video to me. She knows I'm from Utah but she had no way of knowing how many connections this video touched on for me. The artist is so like my Aunt Hazel (also childless), recently deceased. The crowing rooster so like the ones that woke me on my grandma's farm in Hollday, Utah, when I was a child. And the soldiers so like my grandson, now home safely.

A Better Way To Show We Care for Our Soldiers

A good web friend, author and photographer May Lattanzio send this URL. I think this program for adopting a US soldier far more promising and helpful than sending sentimental pictures and overly patriotic (and often inaccurate and prejudiced) e-mails around on the Web. Here is the site: http://www.adoptaussoldier.org/

Please also note that one of the segments in this blog lists lots of other ways that you can be of service to our troops.
