Warrior Walk Lakeland
July 31, 2010 
Dear Friends,
 
I know everyone is SO busy and this event is months away, but please take a moment to look at this website for me. (below) I am organizing a WARRIOR WALK in Lakeland, FL to be held on St. July 31st 2010 beginning at 9am. There will be a short ceremony, and then participants will walk in honor of a fallen hero, who has made the ultimate sacrifice in either Operation Iraqi Freedom, or Operation Enduring Freedom.
 
I ask that you pass along this website, and sign up to walk if you are able. If you cannot walk, or are handicapped please join us anyways. You can sit and cheer from the sidelines! We also need some sponsors for event related items, if you or anyone you know are willing.
 
I know the thought of a fallen soldier is definitely not a happy thought, but I would like to bring to light and honor those men and women who are no longer with us, all in the name of FREEDOM that you and I enjoy each and every day. I am so very grateful for all of our military personnel and thank God there are people who are willing to stand in harm's way and fight the people who try and do our country harm. I am so grateful and PROUD to be an American!! Thank you to all our troops and Veterans, past and present. Hope you can join us.....

If anyone receives any "female" items (bath items, nail polish, lip gloss, pedicure items) this holiday that they do not want OR if anyone runs across any cheap deals after christmas on this type of stuff please let me know. I hope to send out another large "Female Pedicure" Care package after the new year.

Last year I found a bunch of gift sets from target/walmart and stocked up! Those have already been shipped and Im sure the female soldiers are enjoying them. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all!
Thanks so much!
