A 16 year old girl at my daughter's high school has been working hard to get March 26th designated as Support The Troops Day.

Today, Congress passed a resolution making it official!!

There will be a candlelight vigil at my daughter's high school. If there is nothing going on near you, please spend a minute and say a prayer or just remember that they are there.

If you have any VFWs, American Legions, Amvets, etc. near you, your daughter should invite them to the candlelight vigil. It adds quite an impact to see the older vets dressed in their uniforms.

Thanks.

I'm sure there will be a lot of info going out on this, but it's nice to have a heads up.
