If you live near a military base you may want to consider making a call to the base Chaplain and check into hosting one or more of our young service members for dinner during the Holiday season. Most bases have some sort of "Take a Soldier/Sailor/Airman home". Many of our troops are away from home for the first time, some separated from wives and children, and a home cooked meal in the company of good people can make a huge difference. I've been on both sides of this program, and have met many wonderful people thru it over the years.
Wish I had thought to pass this on BEFORE Turkey day, but there are still a lot of opportunities left between now and New Years, and why limit it to just the holidays??? Maybe we, as a boating community, could start a new program "Take a Troop boating". I'm sure we could teach them valuable life skills during a long weekend of boating...
Just a thought.......
