Snapshots the Veteran's View

By Kim Lengling

It is great to be alive-technology makes everything available to us in our homes, and the law of democracy gives us the freedom to be. But we easily get so caught up in the daily grind that we often forget these basic concepts, often forget the people that have made it possible for us to be safe and free and able to speak our minds. Kim Lengling writes about the constant sacrifice that our deployed troops make for us to live in peaceful times with our families. She relates how project Support Our Troops, a project she cochairs, has been sending care packages to active-duty military for the past fifteen years, and how we can make a difference in the lives of these brave men and women. And it can all begin with you, in your neighborhood: "Take a moment to listen to someone. Truly hear their story, and if it is needed, find a way to help. Help can be given in so many ways. One way, which is so simple but often overlooked, is to simply have an open heart and be that person who listens. You can make a world of difference without even realizing it."
