Lubbock Daycare Center Thanks Injured Soldier

I came across this story from a Lubbock, TX news station. Another great example of daycare operators and children showing their support and gratitude for local troops. I know that it's a little "schmaltzy" - but I can't help but pass these stories on.

Our children are learning to appreciate those that sacrifice to help the greater good - no matter how we choose to define that. Being the father of 2 sons - a 3 yr old and an 11-month old, I hope my boys will learn to do the same.

Here's the story:

Daycare Creates Thank You Basket For Injured Lubbock Soldier

As the United States Government announces the death of 15 U.S. troops in Iraq over the past three days, some Lubbockites are showing their support for an injured soldier.

Emma Mahaney is taking a gift basket to San Antonio. The items inside are thank you gifts donated by the students and parents from Emma's Group Daycare. She plans on personally delivering the basket to Lubbock soldier Jason Bates.

She saw a story about Bates on NewsChannel 11 and wanted to show her appreciation. Bates was injured in Iraq when an improvised explosive device detonated and destroyed the humvee he was in. Bates was awarded the purple heart and is recovering at a hospital in San Antonio.
