I live in Niceville and have seen Bailey in front of several discount stores in the local area working hard all year round to keep her stream of hugs flowing overseas. She is at it in all kinds of weather with a her smile asking if you would like to help send thank you packages to the troops.

I stopped to talk to her and her mother recently. Things are getting tough for the group. Stores are being much more restrictive on fund raising events. With the current economic woes, people are understandably not openning their wallets as easily. The worst thing they are told is- "Oh I already gave." While this war- support or oppose- may be slipping from the front pages there are hundreds of thousands of our neighbors in a distant desert serving our country, they do not get to say "I already gave" pack their duffel bags and come home for Christmas.

Visit Bailey's web site and find out hou you can help let these men and women know we appreciate the sacrafices they are making every day for our country. The operation appears to have about zero overhead- I am told their living room looks more like a warehouse for their supplies.

If you can spare even a dollar it would be a great help to their cause.
