		<description>My name is Jessica, and I am store 424. I wanted to give Kudos to all the above mentioned stores but I also wanted to say thank you to our Tool Rental Department for really going the extra mile to make those plaques. Many of our associates were in the military and our managers really try to go out of their way for our veterans. I am really happy to work for a company that shares my values.</description>

		<description>All the stores that give honor to our Veterans in these hard times are really giving there heart felt efforts and really need to be acknowledgeg.  I just saw my soon to be 22 year old grandson leave on Saturday to return to Iraq and when I heard that 4 soldiers got killed today my heart sank to find out that 3 were killed in North Iraq where he is. We must keep all of our veterans and their families in prayer all the time.</description>

		<description>I would like to share a story both sad and good. My husband died exactly one year ago of metastisized lung cancer at age 81. I saw a sign in the hospital free cancer screening for people over 60 that smoked. I went for the test and got diagnosed with breast cancer. I am know going for chemo. I shared my story with 12 ladies from my do it herself workshop and 2 went for the test and were diagnosed with breast cancer. I want to thank my store manager and all of the employees of Home Depot for their awsome support to help me thru my crisis. I am with the company 14 years and I have probably raised more money for the employees in this store. I won the giving back award in 2000 and had brain surgery a year later. Giving back pays off as now I am a receiver of all the good that is out there. Thankyou Lou Gaglio and all of the employees of Home Depot</description>
