Dana (and Molly)!!!
I am TOTALLY with you about having Molly on camera and NOT me....but I will send this out, because it's for the troops.....so, let the cameras fall where they may.....
If local media wants to hear about US, their going to get an earful about Molly at the same time!!! We all know you are all about our team...but let's get real, my friend....you are a great leader for us Moms....... you really do underestimate your value, Molly. It wasn't just you having an idea, it was you living that idea 24/7 that made it catch on.....pretty priceless from where I'm standing.....and every Mom on this site would agree with me. I'll take a bow in my hometown, but when it's all said and done, Louisville will know who's idea and countless hours of work, this victory has it's roots in, and that's you, Molly. You deserve it.
AMEN SISTER...You tell her like it is...I am behind you all the way!!!
Very well put Sheila. Yes, we have our "SHEPHARD" and that's the way we like it...A damn good one at that! (Sorry Molly you're out voted - you get the cameras...ROFL!)
Shelia...let's do a Proclamation for Molly and get her a crown!!! QUEEN MOLLY...and I think there should be a Holiday!!!!
Molly...received an e-mail from Sailor aboard the Crommelin wanting to know if there was a format they needed to follow to do letters...sorry but sometimes we are in River City.....I know the Crommelin is proud that Molly's Adopt a Sailor WON!!! If these letters will make a difference, let me know and I'll e-mail him back...I know they voted as much as possible cause QM2 as LPO gave the orders!!! ha ha!!!
re: Press Release - UPDATE King 5 Television Channel 5 NBC affiliate

I just talked to the news desk at King 5 who told me that last night they ran a "blurb" about Molly's Adopt A Sailor.

I mentioned the youtube video and she asked me to send it to the news desk which I did.

If anyone watches the news on channel 5 tonight, please let us know if you see it!!!!
Carol
Shiela --------- here is the REALITY !!

I am a cheerleader -I get the crowd going, I keep the party rolling.
BUT the cheerleader never ever won the game

(I just toss gateraide on your head) LOL


as for crommelin here is the info pepsi wants
Name of Reference
• Address
• City, State, Zip
• Contact phone
• Grant Recipient Name
• Pepsi Refresh Project Name
• How do you know the Grant Recipient?
• Why is this person qualified to carry out the proposed project?
Out of everything you know what touches me the most here --------- that the Crommelin knows and is excited. Seriously ------ it brings a tear to my eyes to think our babies are excited for us , that they even remember us is amazing. It really beings it home that we DO make a difference for them to remember little ole us.
I LOVE that they are excited !! tears ----- I could only wish that the Navy deployed or sitting in port are Hooyah 'ing because THEY WON. if they think that amaerica voted for them -that America said hell yes support our troops (if they know just for a moment how IMPORTANT they are ) thats almost better then 50k right there
Thanks Ms. QUEEN MOLLY: I'm going straight to the Commander in Chief and get a holiday for you!!! I'll send the info to QM2 and it'll be so fun to see the response you get! Wonder how they will answer the question...how do you know the Grant Recipient??? Could get some good stuff!!! You should plan to come to the Crommelin homecoming...we'll put you up in a Beach House!!! Of course you will be sleeping on Heads at Ease Pillowcases!!!
Hmmmm, wonder if a picture of me sewing away with my diet Pepsi to my right would fit in?
100% 100% 100% Nancy
Refresh Nancy!!
