Yesterday in Norman, Oklahoma, a nice young man made a donation to Bake Sales for Body Armor, a project that does just what the name implies. See, the U.S. government has significant shortfalls in supplying some of the little things that soldiers like to have handy, like effective armor to help keep them safe.
The Bake Sales for Body Armor idea was started by an Iraq vet and the wife of another soldier about three years ago, and bake sales have been held all across the country.
Students at Oklahoma City Community College held their fourth such fundraiser on Thursday, and they were happy to see a return customer, who they know does more than just mouth platitudes like "Support the troops." He actually puts his money where his mouth is.
