How We Remember

For the past three years, we have remembered 9/11 by delivering a big plate of cookies and cards to these guys:

Three years ago was when we explained what happened on 9/11 to Caroline and this was the best way we could find to turn a horrible day into a day of remembering and showing appreciation to heroes. 

Roy Austin loved when these guys asked if he wanted to see the truck:

Don't forget your firefighters!  We toured our local station two years ago and all the guys were so sweet and genuinely kind.  I was shocked to hear that all of their food and other essentials at the station are provided by themselves!  Bring them a treat once in a while and show them that you appreciate their dedication to your community.

That's really a nice thing to do, Donna. I know those firemen really appreciate your visit, and the treats you make for them......and the children are learning to be thankful, as well as giving. You're a good momma!
