Oh well done, Lil. And thanks, daroogle, for having the grace to "out" her good deed. There's no part of this thread that doesn't have me smiling.

I'm glad that at least one well deserving military man got a pick-me-up (I'm assuming you're gonna share your haul with your friends, Daroogle ).

I'm glad that the gesture is being recognized publically. The people who do these things don't do it for praise, and therefore rarely get it. But they do so deserve it, and I'm glad our Lilith is getting some.

And I'm loving the way everyone else chimed in, adding their stories to the pile. Good people here....definately the cheer up I needed tonight.
