Thank You To All Our Armed Forces.


Thank You To All Our Armed Forces

Warren Buffett says that if you run your financial life in good times, as though they were bad, then when bad times hit you can survive and thrive.  I think the same attitude should be applied to our thankfulness toward America's Armed Forces.  Let's not just remember them on days like 9-11, Veterans Day, and Armed Forces Day...but let's stay in a spirit of gratitude all throughout our lives.  It's important for we dads to be thankful as individuals, but even more importantly for the example we show our children.  Most children need to be taught thankfulness.  In fact, I would argue that the art of thankfulness is quickly disappearing throughout our land.  Here are a few ways for you and your children to say thank you to our Armed Forces.

1.  Write a thank you letter as a family to an Armed Forces member on your street, in your community or at your local church.
2. Bake some chocolate chip cookies as a family and deliver them to a family in your area whose son or husband is in the military and away from home.
3.  Support great organizations like these as a family:  thanksusa.org     anysoldier.com     

Blessings,
