Blackfive points us to the story about Leane Palmer, a
thoughtful military wife.
... Capt. Palmer’s nomination struck true with the AVA. "While in Kuwait, temperatures were over 120 degrees," writes Capt. Palmer in the nomination. "My wife, being a good seamstress, found a pattern for neck coolers (ties with crystals that, when soaked in water, swell up with cool gel offering relief from the heat). I thought she might make 50 or 100. She made 300 and rallied people to help purchase supplies to make over 600. She ended up mailing enough for my entire battalion."
As somebody who's experienced 120 degrees (Phoenix has reached that mark three times while I've been living here), I can appreciate how a little cooling can have a great effect.
