The Silly String Mom

Marcell Shriver, a New Jersey resident, is your average woman.  She goes to church, is a mother and has lived a fairly quiet life.  Her story is very inspiring, however.  Her son, Todd, is a soldier in Iraq and to help keep him and others in the "hot zone" safe, she has come up with a unique idea--Silly String.  Silly String, those cans of spray string that you may remember from childhood, can be used by soldiers in the field to detect trip wire bombs.  She has started a drive with the help of her husband, her church and thousands of people all around the United States to send as much of Silly String as she can to Iraq.Her story is touching and beautiful, and it reminds us all that the smallest gift can make the biggest difference.ResourcesMarcell is looking for the names of soldiers in Iraq to whom she can send care packages of Silly String.  Please email her if you know someone.Please send donations of money or Silly String to:Marcell Shriverc/o Saint Luke�s Church55 Warwick RoadStratford, NJ 08084You can order Silly String through Amazon and have them ship it directly to Marcell at the above address.Sync with Your iPod
