Little Things Mean A Lot!

By
Real Estate Agent with Exit 1 Stop Realty

This morning, for the fifth year in a row, my neighbor and I distributed gift bags to those neighbors in our condominium complex who have served in the armed forces. We have veterans of every war since WWII living there, and each year we honor them with small red, white and blue gift bags. This year we included bags of Starbucks coffee, chocolate and caramel cookies, peppermint patties, and red and white striped mints. Each year, the vets have been so grateful that we remember and honor them. It's a small thing, but means so much to those who served. We also make sure that each unit has a small flag to display outside the door. We need to remember and thank the veterans who so selflessly served our country, and enabled us to live the privileged lives we've had in the United States of America.
