Today is the 233rd birthday of the United States Marine Corp. Happy Birthday, and thank you, Marines!
If you would like to show your thanks to active duty Marines or other armed service men and women serving overseas, please consider donating to Operation Gratitude. The troops have done so much for all of us, and asked for so little in return.
Operation Gratitude sends care packages to our troops in harms way. Someone came up with the idea to send Beanie Babies. Not only did those Beanie Babies bring some humor to the troops, they also saved lives.
But then, startling revelations began to arrive at the OpGrat headquarters, and the Beanie Baby project took on a whole new meaning. They were actually saving lives and helping to win the war.
Some of our truly exceptional, brilliant soldiers had the idea to trade the Beanie Babies with Iraqi children for information on hidden IED’s. The children, so bereft of toys, gladly showed soldiers where explosives were hidden in exchange for the coveted cuddly critters.
Soldiers saved by a toy, proving once again that God truly works in mysterious ways. Who could have imagined this? Read full story.
Please consider making a tax deductibe donation to Operation Gratitude in honor of the Birthday of the USMC and Veterans Day. What better way to say “Thank You.”
