If you have not yet donated to LBEH.ORG, please consider helping send a military member home for the holidays, who otherwise would not be able to go home on their own. When Ernie Stewart started this in 2001, I donated; I donated what little I could every year, as my kids grew & finished school; as one entered college, and then as two joined the military themselves. As a military Mom I now understand exactly what it was I was helping out with every year by donating: I now know, first-hand, how it feels to have a true Homecoming. While my own kids were able to get home without the assistance of LBEH, so far 118 service people in need have been able to say "hi mom!" and walk through the door...because of Ernie Stewart and the help of his selfless assistants, and donors. As of this posting they still need $14,614.31 in donations or Frequent Flier miles to handle this wave of requests. If you have donated...Thank you. I love you. If you have not yet, and can afford to...please, help bring these kids home. And thank you.
