Update on Gift to Brother Dan - US Navy
Hi friends,
This post is a final update on an original post I made to benefit my brother-in-law Dan (and my sister), as he was serving overseas with the US Navy and was gone for 6 months - I wanted to give them a gift from me and my steemit friends in order to say THANK YOU and GOD BLESS YOU for your service and sacrifice. Here is the original post:

The post raised a total of $595 USD, which they decided to put toward a trip together once Dan returned. They booked flights and stayed on Bainbridge Island in Washington, so this post took care of a good portion of the expenses related to the trip! Here is a post I made on the payout calculation:

Well, Dan made it back safely, and they recently got back from their getaway on Bainbridge Island in Washington... they had a blast! I have never been there, so I am repeating their stories here: They loved staying in the cottages on the water, hiking the many miles of scenic hikes on the island and kayaking in they bays. Their favorite part though was going off-road Jeeping and exploring the island. Here are some of the pictures they sent me for this update:
As you can tell, they had a great time. They sent a postcard to say thank you, and, when I saw them recently, reiterated how grateful they are that we blessed them with this gift! I also want to say thank you again to those who helped contribute to this... what a great community!
Take care my friends,
Brian
Thank you for posting @brian.rrr.
Lovely photographs and write up.
Please thank your brother-in-law for his service and your sister for doing the hardest job there is.....that of being a military wife.
So happy for them.
All the best to you and your good lady.
Cheers.
That's so great! This is a perfect real world example of what Steemit can do. Glad they enjoyed the trip!
What a thoughtful way to let him know how much he was missed and is appreciated. So many families go through the sacrifice of having family members away in service. It is such an important job and one that comes with a tremendous amount of risk and sacrifice. My hat is off to you @brian.rrr!!! Such an amazing and impressive thing that you were able to do for them. If only everyone was as thoughtful and caring. Wonderful pictures. Thanks for sharing!!!
That was so nice of you! Plz thank your brother in law for his service to our country! It looks like they had a great time! Thank you for sharing their story! 🇺🇸💙
fair winds and following seas Sailor!
