A Special Salute: Sack Lunch No. 45,000

James received our milestone-making meal on Friday, May 18, as our volunteers cheered him on.

He was extremely gracious, posing for numerous pictures as we feted our new friend and showered him with gifts.

Of those gifts, he was most interested in a devotional book about the Bible to help him fight the good fight of faith.

We also gave him a brand new backpack, which he wanted to pass along to a friend who just had one stolen.

James is an Army veteran, having served 8 years. He originally hails from Alabama.

Like many that we serve, James really cares about being accepted in society. He has a great heart and is proud of how he served our country.
