Nazareth Hosts Quarters For Military Families on Sunday

They lay their lives on the line. Can you put a quarter on the line?

Tomorrow, between 1 and 3:30 PM, people will begin placing quarters along Nazareth's Main Street, starting at the Circle and going and going and going. The Blue Star Mothers and LV Military Affairs Council will use the money to buy things like phone cards for LV soldiers serving overseas.

If you can't make it, you can make a contribution to Quarters for Military Families, First Star Bank, 14 South Main Street, Nazareth, PA 18064.

    It is going to be a great day. We have National Guardsmen coming to help out and talk with the kids, there will be lots to do besides laying dwn those quarters. Last year we were able to send lots of boxes to our troops thanks to this event! Come on out! We'd love to meet you and your family

    Great cause, supported by great weather. I was glad to go and leave behind a roll of quarters. Although I ran into Charlie Dent, and Bobby Gunther Walsh, the true highlight was seeing Mr. Bernie O'Hare, again.

    Remember, if you couldn't make it, you can donate directly!

    And no, I was NOT stealing the quarters. I was just looking at them.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
