| 11-05-07 My bugs name is Bobby the Army Ant. His number is 6-000378. My name is Mary Zeigler and I live in Missouri. I went out and got a teacher lunch when she couldn't leave. I purchased Bobby the Army Ant several months ago while my husband was in Iraq. I wanted to honor him and his fellow soldiers by passing on kindness when there seems to be very little of that in their world. He is now back but preparing to go to Afghanistan soon. I decided I needed to let Bobby go out before he leaves and pave the way with kindness. |
