Summary:

While deployed in Iraq, Sgt. Jonathan Fondow, a member of St. John Lutheran Church in Park Rapids, Minn., inspired his family, friends, and a number of congregations to donate clothes and medical supplies to Iraqis in need.

While this is an inspirational story, Sgt. Fondow is not alone in his generosity.  We would like to acknowledge all of those who donate their gifts and talents to help those in need and give thanks to our Lord for their generosity.
