MISSION: Simple Thanks

Just like I love books, I also love our military men and women.  Their sacrifices and commitment to our country and to us–most of whom they will never even know–continue to make my heart swell with love, appreciation, and pride.  I think of my Pappap, who was a POW for nearly three years during WWII, and I want to just yell at the top of my lungs, “THANK YOU!” to every single American service member.

Affiliated Agents “S”–an Air Force husband and wife team stationed in Japan–decided to share their appreciation and friendship with other service members on their base.  These two are a class act.

DATE:
23 September 2010

OPERATIVES:
Affiliated Agents “S”

LOCATION:
Misawa Air Force Base Exchange
Misawa, Japan

TIME:
between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.

We are a husband and wife team of Secret Agents. My hubby is in the Air Force and we currently reside in Misawa, Japan.

Ok-so we have been Secret Agents for over a month now and had not completed a mission so we decided it was time. Being at Misawa can get pretty boring so everyone practically makes a daily trip to the base exchange (store), so we decided that would be the perfect place.

I had a few homemade cards on hand and decided to use these and write a small little note inside each one. We will get some “goodies” for our next mission.

The first card we wanted to leave at the food court but it was a little crowded and could not sneak it in somewhere. Then I came up with going to the ladies room and leaving one on the counter. I go to the ladies room and no one is there so I take my time putting the card out and then I hear a “flush” and think “Oh crud someone is in here”. So I hurry and snap the picture and haul tail out of there, luckily I wasn’t spotted.

This base is pretty small and I want to remain anonymous. Being a little partial to the baby section (we just had a baby boy Sept 1st) of the BX at the moment I decided to leave the second card there. The 3rd card was left at Cinnabon/Seattle’s Best Coffee shop in the BX (I wasn’t able to get a picture of this one).

This was an amazing experience, being sneaky, trying not get “caught”, and doing something nice at the same time. You are an amazing woman to come up with this idea, and I am so happy that it has become a world-wide epidemic.

Affiliated Agents “S”, thank you for your kind words, but YOU both are truly the amazing ones!  We will all be ever in your debt for your continued service to our country.  THANK YOU!
