Pay It Forward to our Forces

By
Industry Observer

I told you on my blog on Tuesday, that I paid it forward in two different ways. I bought the toys to underprivelged kids, but the thing that Robert Bob Gilbert and I love to do is give back to our troops and those that keep us safe at night. I know a ex-Navy man who told me that "special" military personnel need nuts, trail mix, chips granola bars and the like and it is to be sent to someone who then delivers it to the base because localizing these people is hard so they do not get stuff that is sent to many of our troops. If you would care to Pay-It-Forward please call me and I will give you all the details, this is the least we can do for these "special" military personnel.

Paying it forward to our armed forces is very important this time of year, Yolanda!  My son, now U.S. Navy Retired, spent many deployments on an Air Craft Carrier, in the Persian Gulf.  And, a number of them were during holiday time.  Those kinds of treats mean a great deal to them.

I love this Yolanda Cordova-Gilbert!  We have regular client events to gather this same type of goodies for a platoon that we have 'adopted' and love every minute of putting their care packages together and sending them their way!  Now is such an important time of the year to do this too!

I am sure that they really appreciate what you do for them, as they are without most of the things they are used to having.
