Welcome Them & Independence Day

A number of customers have approached us regarding “Welcome Home” celebrations they are planning for husbands, sons, daughters and loved ones serving our country. No matter what position they may hold in the military, it’s important not to let occasions like that go by without at least a special dinner.

I just finished cleaning up all the cheesy e-mail forwards that I’ve received throughout the course of the last few days. I always wonder who starts these forwards because some of these people really lay it on thick. The subject line may as well be begging for a tear or two from each reader. Regardless, I came across one that always makes me think a little. The gist of the e-mail, which I’m sure you’ve read countless times, is to not leave what you can do today for tomorrow because you might not make it. Then it goes on to provide a whole list of tragic stories that may or may not have happened. The message may be a little cliché, but it definitely has holds some truth.

Our Independence Day holiday is just around the corner and some of our troops are scheduled to join us. Make sure and receive them with at least a piece of chicken on the grill, perhaps some fruit-kabobs or their favorite snacks. Don’t let them go home without knowing how much you love and appreciate the work they do for our country.

In all cheesiness, don’t make it a schedule of shoulds and maybes. Welcome those uniforms and celebrate our country. Dress up the day with 4th of July Party Supplies!
