Christmas Thought

[jphillips1970]

Fellow modelers - With the holiday season upon use let us not forget the ones who are away from home and the ones without homes to keep warm and dry - We are so lucky to have our friends, family members who put thier lives in harms way each day to protect our very own freedom - And for thoughs who are off to get that last minute shopping done lets think of those who may not have a warm bed to sleep in or a hot meal to eat - So if you see that little red bucket with a bell ringer working drop in what you can afford because that new model you were looking at or that can of paint can wait but these people both young and old need our help to - Protect the ones who protect this country who are away from home this hoilday seanson and the one here who protect our homes and families each and every day - Yes this maybe depressing to some but we are so very lucky to have them to give their lives each day for us so we can live the next day - Bring a smile to someone in need even if you don't know them - You'll feel good and so will they -I thank you for your time - Joe

I put some $$ in the little red bucket for the first time in years. I was at the social security office earlier in the year and there was a serviceman in line. I went up and shook his hand and thanked him for keeping us safe. When I see and hear of the struggles builders from other countries have just to buy a model and supplies I am grateful to live in the United Sates and am reminded yet again how much I love our country. Hope thats not too smarmy for you guys.
