The Fighting 69th of New York City Homecoming

Oh my goodness! I am so behind in all of my posts! I do have two really great excuses: 1) My external hard drive with all of my pictures crashed. I am still recovering. 2) School has been crazy! We are so close to finals and all of my professors are piling on the assignments. 

Okay enough excuses.... let me give you some updates!

On Saint Patrick's Day I helped the USO of Metropolitan New York welcome home our men and women of the one and only Fighting 69th Infantry Division. I spent all day making hot dogs (or cooking them at least) and I know I handed out what felt like millions of buns. Thousands of service members and their families were present and it was really a memorable event. Even the mayor of New York, Mike Bloomberg, said a few words, thanking the division for all that they have done in the war in Iraq and Afghanistan

For more information on the USO remember you can go to www.usonyc.org. If you have a second please take time to donate a lot or a little so that we can keep doing what we do for our men and women in uniform.
