I was set back on my heels today

[hidestoart]

This afternoon I got a call from the wife to say I got a package from Rolla MO. Not knowing anyone there this peaked my interest. When I got home there was a bubble pack on my desk. What I found inside brought tears to my eyes.

As some know I do custom leather work and have my own line of tools. About two months ago a friend in Wyoming asked me if I would donate some tools to a group that needed some but could not afford them. I was in a hurry with something that was important at time that I can not even remember now, I did not ask who, where or why I just sent them to him.

I opened the package and inside was a leather folder that was tooled with Hides to Art basket stamps. Inside the folder was a simple picture of solders from the wounded warriors program working leather with my tools and smiling. Each had signed their name with a thank you. Being a Vet myself I was ashamed that I had not done this before or sent more. In my haste to get off the phone I never asked what they needed I just sent what I had extra of. I will fix my short coming in the morning and ask for forgivness tonight when the lights go off.

Thanks for listening to my confession

Here is the card they sent
