We'd like to tell your
stories, say thanks and show our
gratitude for
the help you have given all of us!
Thank you for your heroism!
When have you needed a hand?
A little assistance or encouragement
to get where you needed
to?
Who was it? A firefighter? An EMT? A foster parent?
emergency room staff? or just a friend?
InGratia gives you the chance to show your
gratitude and spread a little joy and inspiration
by telling your story, offering a small memorial
or recognizing someone's selfless assistance.
Thank You and Be Safe!

Think before
you drink. Don't let friends drive when they have been
drinking. Drunk
driving is the nation's most frequently committed violent
crime.
(MADD, 2000)
In 1971, a drinking driver with a BAC of .08
percent rear-ended the family car carrying Millie Webb,
her husband, Roy, their 4-and-a-half-year-old daughter,
Lori, and 19-month-old nephew, Millie, who was seven
months pregnant at the time...

the rest of Millie's Story at the MDD website.
Have a great day and be safe!
