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. -

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!!!!

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 -
