I just saw two "ads" in the TWATL that warmed my heart.

The first was a full page notice about the Landings Military Relief Fund. I'm so proud to be a resident of The Landings - a community that is actually doing something to help the families of our deployed soldiers. Its hard enough that their loved ones are deployed, but then they have to face hardships that a lot of us would find daunting. And with the Savannah Hunter Army Air Force base located so close to The Landings, we are always reminded of our military as we see soldiers all over town.

Its unbelievable that this second fundraising effort raised $140,000 in such a short period of time, especially when everyone's funds are so tight -- what with the price of gas and groceries being as high as they are!

The second article was about the Landings Garden Club's Dedication Ceremony for the Blue Star Memorial at the Landings Association building on Friday, May 30th. I'm not a veteran, just the recipient of their bravery, dedication, and courage and I plan on being at the dedication out of thanks for our veteran's service.  My father fought in WWII and my husband in Vietnam. I'm proud to be an American and proud to be a member of this fine community- The Landings on Skidaway Island!
