Sports Bar & Buffet

 

I have a story to tell you all on this July 4th. I think it's a pretty good story too.

As you know, Kristi and I went to the Wounded Warriors, Fallen Heroes celebration on Sunday night. Please see the other thread if you don't know what I am talking about.

Of course, everyone has their own way of dealing with tragedy and triumph. I had my own process going on after leaving the celebration. When Kristi and I were leaving, I wasn't expecting what followed.

Kristi was pumped up! She wanted to do something. She wanted to contribute to this worthy cause in some manner. Here is her idea.

You see that small pin on her T-shirt in the above photo? Kristi makes those.

It is a pin consisting of 13 safety pins, one on top and 12 hanging from that. See the little colored beads on them? There are 108 little bitty colored beads on those safety pins to make an American flag. Each pin takes about 30-40 minutes to make.

Here is Kristi's idea. She wants to sell these pins for 1.00 each. She wants to start now and make and sell as many as she can before next year's celebration. She wants to donate the money to this organization to make sure there is an on-going tribute to our fallen and injured heroes.

Nice huh?

She doesn't do this for any self-glamor or self-rightiousness....

She simply wants to contibute in her own way....

I'll be here to encourage her.....I hope you do too.

Again, Happy 4th of July!!!!!
