Hugs for Heroes


Jan and few ladies from our church have been busy preparing an event called Hugs for Heroes (HFH), to take place this coming weekend. The event is to honor our American heroes serving in the military anywhere in the world, and the families of these men women that are members of our church. Since we do not have any family member serving the military branch, we've adopted Mike and Joe Hughes (Maria's brothers) as our honorees. They are US Marines currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Jan and I have been busy getting songs (from iTunes) and making a patriotic playlist to be played during the HFH dinner, and ordering and re-ordering the songs. For some reason just a few minutes ago, Jan accidentally deleted the playlist, so she is now starting over. Luckily, its just the playlist, not the songs theselves. During the morning service that Sunday, the pastor will be blessing the care packages that will be sent to our servicemen/servicewomen associated with the church members, wherever they are located.

THANK YOU to all American servicemen and women and their families for your sacrifice and your life to preserve our freedom. May God bless you and the USA.

That's cool that you "adopted" Maria's family as your heroes. :)
