One more reason to shop Home Depot
I learned how to replace a valve seat in my bathroom faucet and rewire a malfunctioning lamp from their patient sales force. I built a corner shelf and a birdhouse at the Girl's Night Out carpentry clinics. It's one of my favorite places to hang out, even if they will never stock pink Milwaukie drills. In a statement Wednesday, the Atlanta-based Home Depot said that it is donating nearly 100,000 tools and materials in all to support the U.S.-led mission in Iraq.
Shovels, table saws, concrete mixers, power generators, light bulbs, jackhammers and other tools and materials were to be loaded on nine tractor-trailers in San Diego to be taken by military transportation to U.S. installations in Iraq. Home Depot has more than 1,800 employees serving in the current military efforts.
Ooh-rah!
p.s. I'd like shopping at Home Depot better if they changed the color scheme. But I'm willing to overlook the orange since they are so awesome at troop support. This looks better though.

Having recently returned from serving in Iraq, I know firsthand that our troops appreciate the fact that our communities and our country continue to show their support,":
