Veteran's Day Tribute

Thanks to my good friend Julie Price and the FBLA students at Lynden High School, we were able to take part in a local project to support our troops and do some charity work overseas where they are serving. LHS students participated in OPERATION SHOEBOX and collected 140 pairs of shoes which were mailed to the 170th MP Company troops and handed out to the kids in need in Afghanistan. 









My fiance Sgt. Ortiz captured some great photos of the kids with their shoes and made a video for the students at LHS to express the appreciation of the soldiers in his platoon. This was the video that was played at the LHS Veterans Day Assembly this week...very touching and a great way to recognize our Veterans this week. Thank you Julie & LHS!
