One day during the last few weeks (it’s all a blur) while Dawn and I were picking up mail at the Royal Oaks Post Office in Sacramento, we noticed a rental truck unloading packages and a news camera taping. We were in a bit of a rush, but I quickly snapped the five images below (click to enlarge) with Dawn’s iPhone and managed to get off one question before we had to shoot back to the office. The packages, they told me, were “for our troops.” I’d hoped to find out more after the fact but so far I’ve come up empty. So, if anyone knows the details - which troops, which theater, organizers - please let me know and I’ll post a follow-up.

In any event, isn’t it nice to know that Americans, despite our political differences, still find it in our hearts to remember and support our troops abroad? It’s part of our culture, part of what makes us Americans and binds us together. And it made me proud.
