So here it is. A cousin of mine is over in afganistan. Recently he sent home a camera to be developed by his wife linda. Well on the camera are photo's of his troop and them playing with the kids over there. Everyone happy and having a great time. She dropped it off at her local cvs in ringwood. She goes back the next day to be confronted by the manager. She hands her a big box of decorations,candy, and various things. She then handed her a card signed by everyone in there thanking her husband for fighting for them and his country. She cried her eyes out there and they even gave her a free box of tissues lol.

 

Wanted to share that because just when u think everything around u is going to hell something wonderful like this actually happens. Heard stories like this before but never thought it would happen to my family. Also have 2 other cousins over there as well.

 

May god keep them safe and thank you to all our troops.

very cool story, any chance could share some pic's?

All I got was the card from them and her response on the e-mail... Also it wont let me load the file for some reason.

 

 

Good morning everyone,

 

 

 

I would like to share a story with you.

 

 

 

Scott sent home a camera for me to develop for him. I dropped it off yesterday at CVS and when I went this morning to pick up the pictures the staff was waiting for me and when they gave me the pictures they also gave me a great big box with goodies and decorates for Scott and the other soldiers. Please see attached card and letter.

 

 

 

It hit home, what a beautiful and wonderful feeling knowing people really do care.

 

 

 

After I stopped crying I also got a free box of tissues. LOL J

 

 

 

Have a great day everyone.

 

 

 

Love you and I'll see you soon...

Truly nice... but so much for your privacy....I wonder what other pictures their scowling over?

True, but at least they cared enough to show their appreciation. They problably see so many pictures that they don't even care anymore. But those pics must have hit a nerve with them.

That is a great story.

 

Alas, everything in the world around is going to hell tho.

Lots of truth in that.

if you want privacy then get a dark room, they have to look at the pictures to develop them, it isn't a magical machine that makes sure it did its own job. Any time you turn in film to be developed the person (or persons) at the store will see you photo's. They are even required by law to report crimes that they see of the developed film in most areas. You were miss informed if you thought that a photo developer had a privacy policy. (sorry that all seemed very in your face, it was meant in more of a dry informative way, but I'm to bored to retype all of it so lets just add a slew of faces at the end :ugeek: :mrgreen: :shock: 8-) :geek: :mrgreen: :twisted: :oops: :idea: :!: :!: there much better.)

 

That is a great story! Stuff like that always makes me feel better I remember getting the most awesome packages when I was over there, all they would be was beef jerky and baby wipes, which were awesome! But even more pleasing were the few times someone looked me in the eye and thanked me for my service (it is always better than being spit on).

No offense taken....I know what you mean..... Like I said, it was very nice of them to do that.

Yea I actually do thank soldiers if I see them in there uniforms. Whenever I hear people talk badly about the armed forces i have to question there sexual orentation and there patriotism. I know I would never make it there so right there that lets me know how more of a man the soldiers are then me lol. It's always great when my cousins come home.

 

Also they do look at the pictures. A friend of mine used to work at the one here in saddle brook. He never used to till people complained about how the pictures came out so he started looking to solve the problem

Geat story. Sometimes we get caught up in our own lifes and forget what is going on over there.
