SOWW Thankful ~ Happy Thanksgiving 2016!

Today is our 
National Day of Thanksgiving.

But at Serve Our Willing Warriors, EVERY day is a day of Thanksgiving.

(In fact, our middle name could be Thanksgiving!)

Our organization was founded on the principle of "giving thanks". 
It is our mission to give our thanks to the Men and Women who safeguard our nation through their service and sacrifice in the United States Armed Forces.

They will always top our  "Things To Be Grateful For" list.

Founders John & Shirley Dominick with some of our awesome "Willing Warriors"!

But as we set out to "give back" to our Willing Warriors + Their Families, we found so(ww) many other things to be thankful for . . .

Take a peek at some of the people and events that have become a part of the "We're SOWW Thankful" story this year.

What's the best way to say 

"Happy Fourth of July"?

I think some of the letters written to our 

Willing Warriors + Their Families 

by The Cub Class of Little Sprouts Preschool 

set a great example!

TODAY WE HONOR YOU

Our freedom in America isn't really free

Our Soldiers often pay a price to keep our liberty.

On this day we honor you

The ones who fight for Red, White and Blue

From my hand to your heart THANK YOU for all that you do!

Thank you for your service!

The Cub Class, Little Sprouts Preschool

A piece of me I give to you.

I painted this heart to say "Thank you!"

The heart is you, the hand is me,

To show that we are friends, the best that can be.

I hope that you will save this and look back someday 

At the heart I made for you on this day!

Thank you for your service!

"Brody"

The Cub Class

Little Sprouts Preschool

As the American Flag flies proud and free over the

Bull Run Warrior Retreat, we'd like to say . . .

Happy Fourth of July! 

From All of Us at Serve Our Willing Warriors!
