This is a Winner



Project Linus of Collin/Dallas/Grayson and Rockwall Counties Texas is busy making blankets for Snowball Express.

Since 2006, Snowball Express has served the children of fallen military heros by helping the children see that ""service above self" is honored by others and is a value they should subscribe to as they continue to mature as adults. They also realize they can honor their fallen hero in ways other than by being sad or at a somber place.

Blanketeers all over the country, but particularly here in the Metroplex, have been busy ensuring that every child attending (1,285 registered to date) received a hand crafted blanket.

Some blankets will have a pocket for a toy. These guys followed me home. I think they will be a big hit.
