8-23-08 -- Dupont Washington is a growing community just outside the gates of Fort Lewis. It is home to many retired military personnel, many active duty ... and a lot of "single" parents, due to all of the deployments.
Saturday morning no one was left out when the community welcomed and honored all of our military with a good ol' fashioned pancake breakfast.
They really turned it out, with games for the kids, great food, wonderful spirit, and more prizes than we ever did at a PackOut (And we did a lot!) I don't think anyone left empty handed after the generosity of the local communities was wrapped and tied with ribbons and flags.
I hope to have a write up from the folks who put this all together as my only participation was to capture the event for them and bring it to you.
We salute all of their hard work and hope this form of patriotism and support spreads to communities all over the country. This is what we should be seeing on the news ... it wasn't about politics, just great respect & support.
We salute Dupont!
