All my life I heard “every penny counts” but I wouldn’t bend over to pick one up… just not worth my time and effort. However, my friend and hero of the season, Linda Allegro of Macomb, Michigan, has changed my views with her “EVERY PENNY COUNT” fundraiser to raise money for our troops

In Linda’s own words:

“You See... I'm an Army Brat.... after serving 21 years in the Army ~ Dad then worked for the governments’ defense department. I actually lived in Singapore for a while, where Daddio was in charge of opening up an armored car division.

My brother served in the Navy…while the other was a Marine.

My son was also a Marine and nephew in the Air force.

My best friend’s son is a Marine, currently serving in Afghanistan searching for IED's, we saw him on 60 Minutes a few weeks ago!

So I am all about patriotism and supporting our troops.... gotta go wipe my teary eyes :o)”

Before you blow your top about the holiday hassle at the airport, the long lines at the grocery store, all the hours you’ll spend cooking and cleaning, the uninvited guests who are crashing hubby’s football party, and the endless Christmas shopping list that awaits, just stop.

Stop and think... The Holiday Season is not far away and thousands of America’s bravest men and women who are standing watch over our freedom will not be home to share this special time of year with their families and friends. Sadly, there are many other deployed soldiers who have no family to send them a package or even a card.

Linda wants to help change all that with her EVERY PENNY COUNTS jars which are located in an around Macomb even your pocket change donations are urgently needed to purchase supplies for our heroes that can’t be home for Christmas.

Allegro Art Studio ~ 50377 Aldwych St. ~ Macomb, Michigan 48044

Please make checks payable to Soldiers’ Angels and make a notation that the check is for the EVERY PENNY COUNTS fund.

But more important consider getting an EVERY PENNY COUNTS jar for yourself you can put it in your office, business, you can ask your favorite restaurant to place it by the cash register or you can even have one available to take to Christmas and Office parties.

Remember EVERY PENNY COUNTS …we don’t expect huge results from any jar.

I once read something that I will never forget –

What is a Soldier? "A soldier, whether active duty, retired, National Guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life wrote a blank check made payable to The United States of America for an amount "up to and including my life”.

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

With that I honor my friend and Hero of the Season – Linda Allegro
