Our group of volunteers packed and readied for mailing almost 100 boxes on this Friday afternoon. L.C. Weathersby was on our mailing list the past 5 months and just returned from duty in Iraq. This 23-year old sailor plans to make a career in the military and shared some of his experiences and plans with us. His proud mom came, thankful to have him home for a short visit. Norma Martinez of the Rockport Pilot came out to meet L.C. and interview him for a future story. Joyce Barnes of Mathis, long-time supporter of our efforts, was on hand to welcome L.C. and celebrate her 83d birthday. These young men and women who serve in such trying times are the hope of our future, and we will continue to care for them until they all come home.
