Thank you letters and hand made cards from some of the local school children.

November is turning out to be such an amazing month here at Franklin Sussex Auto Mall.  The donations for our troops are pouring in!  I would like to especially thank Sparta Curves for Woman, who actually became a self proclaimed “Donation Location” for our “Donation Location!”  :-D    Also, special thanks to Gail Thome and friends who decided not to buy Christmas gifts for each other this year, but to use that money to buy food, socks, and phone cards for our troops instead.  I was so touched last Saturday by a modest gentleman who walked into the showroom with a small bag.  He said he heard our radio ad that stated we had a salesperson whose son was a marine.  He asked if he could met him.  Sam slowly lifted up his head from his work, acknowledging the gentleman.  He walked over to Sam, shook his hand, thanked him for the service his son is doing, and handed me the bag, which included a couple of cans of shaving cream.   Even the smallest item makes a difference.  These are a few examples of the kindness we have experienced within our community, and we are proud that FSAM can be part of it through Operation Gratitude.
