Mahalo, Julia, for caring about our veterans!
You, too, can salute veterans! Operation Paperback enables readers to donate gently used books for deployed soldiers. Operation Paperback also supports VA hospitals. In fact, one hospital in the midwest has appealed for flipflops, toiletries, and books for their patients as "they have no family." I've started a collection at my son's school. If you would like to help, check out Operation Paperback's website at this link.
I am coordinating Operation Holiday Card for military personnel separated from their family in Korea. My husband is currently away in Korea and he will deliver the cards. For more information, contact me at sos.aloha@yahoo.com.

Mahalo,
Kim in Hawaii
A Hawaiian Blessing for Limecello:
'Ike aku, 'ike mai, kokua aku kokua mai;
pela iho la ka nohana 'ohana.
Recognize others, be recognized,
help others, be helped;
such is a family relationship.
What a bunch of wonderful things. I participate in some and will participate in others.

ReplyDeleteWhat a bunch of great effort to help the veterans!
ReplyDeleteI love hearing about the good things that people in the world are doing. It encourages & inspires me to do more.
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful things, thanks for sharing them Kim!!
ReplyDeleteI cannot name the times my DH told me how much it meant to the other soldiers when I would send extras to him when he was in Germany and Kuwait. So many have no other family than their military family. I love the idea of sending the books. I'm going to be looking into this.
