Our wreaths arrived today at The USS Tampa Post 5.
Words cannot tell how wonderful, kind and helpful our driver Mark Dickenson was. Getting into our lot was a little tighter than planned. but with a little help from our friends, all 735 wreaths are in the building waiting on tommorrows Ceremony. When we opened a box, Christmas fell out, the wreaths are beautiful, full with dew still on them. If you close your eyes and walk through the hall you can image walking through a lush northern woodland. The sweet smell of fresh cut pine just permeates the air. We are in awe of what a first class operation this. From our first conversation with Worcester to our final delivery has been a pure pleasure. This is such a feel good event. The whole process takes you back to a time, when neighbors walked their blocks singing carols and stopping at homes along the way to wish each other good cheer. We are so proud to have been a part of this Norman Rockwell type experience. When you learn of Companies like Perdue and drivers like Mark, who have donated their time and talents with such willingness to give, you realize, the world still does have many good folks. Thank you Perdue, Mark and all the other companies and drivers and helpers, who made this all possible. Bless one and all. Rosemary Hamblin, The USS Tampa Post 5 family
