Veterans Christmas Party


This is a photo of the box of 31 socks that were made for our Veterans Christmas Party. We collected $638.00 throughout the year at different events. I put the money into small bills, because they use the money for Bingo prizes. I had another Veteran , thank me for the socks and claimed they were the warmest ever. That is always a welcome compliment. I want to Thank California, Illinois, and Michigan for helping in the donating of socks and of course my core group here in Wisconsin.
We didn't get nearly as many socks as we have in the past but it seems the farther away 911 gets the more the patriotism wanes. But thanks to the red, white and blue scarves from Lois and the socks we sold that the Wisconsin girls made, we donated a nice chunk of change. A Merry Christmas to our Veterans!!!

Thanks to our veterans we still have our freedom. Too bad out of all the people who need the governments help on occasion, our selfless veterans get treated the worst.
