You will feel good about doing stuff like that!  Especially if they are a very junior enlisted person.

Try it.  YOU will like it.  More than the monetary amount involved, I believe they are most grateful that someone actually cares, and took a positive step to express that appreciation.  Done in the presence of a family member, the message gets thru to them too, as they also serve.

(Yes, there are currently organized state militias!) Without the folks back home to support us and love us, we could never have done the job we did. God bless our veterans, and the people who support us.

Alan Briley, RN
