OpFoot symbolizes the mobility of brat childhood. Brats come, pour over the contents of the footlocker set out for display, and frequently contribute their own items, registering them in the footlocker's logbook. Some brats choose to sit down on the spot and write out a favorite story, adding it to the Brat Memory Book which travels with the footlocker and has become a rich verbal tapestry of the brat experience. If you have not yet connected with your former classmates or alumni groups, this is the place to start. Visit this site to see what events are scheduled for your neighborhood or nationally.
Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army.
UAW Local 588 Veterans Committee has started a wonderful event where they host a BBQ at Veteran Homes in their area. They call these events Vets Day and have them in four homes in four states, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois and Minnesota. The UAW goes in for the day and volunteers spend the day with a hospitalized Vet. They set up a mayday and the Veterans win prizes that are donated. It is a one on one experience that fills the heart and leaves ever lasting memories.
