Today while I was searching on-line for a bakery that would send a cake for an upcoming birthday occasion I stumbled upon a site that sends cakes to our military folks overseas. I thought, 'What the heck?" I give to charities, I provide loans on KIVA.org to complete strangers in other countries so why don't I pay tribute in some small way to our troops overseas?
I may not agree with the circumstances that led our brothers and sisters into combat but I sure owe them a debt of gratitude for doing what they feel is the right thing. Ideology aside a cake can warm the heart and it warmed mine knowing that someone far away is going to get a welcome surprise from a complete stranger.
