the gift of personal item, personal hygiene items, that became expensive and heavy, he was anxious to support the project and said there comes a time where we have to cut expenses. we tried to figure a small personal way where if someone were to receive the gifts they would get an individual gift that they would know where it came from. and that's where the lunch bag came out. tell me a little bit about the lunch bags. you have some examples here. >> yes we have nationwide leading up to 9/11 all year long people color brown lunch bags we started out with brown we moved to white. people started asking where is the white crayon, got a little crazy. they colored bags and also i think we have samples of letters that people also write postcards, and then we spend the rest of the year filling the bags. >> filling the bags. >> this is an example.

this, the gum, smarties. always a tootsie pop. always a personal message that a lot of children have done this. >> yes. >> this one is actually from fort lauderdale florida, i remember when it came in, it is so adorable. how did it grow, last year every state in the nation? yes last year we had 64,000volunteers coloring bags and writing postcards and just started reaching out. these people sacrificed so much time and effort away from their families to keep our family's safe that you feel they need to be thanks and they don't get thanked enough and that our mission. when you give a bag to a sailor, you can't stop doing this. >> you mentioned the ships during fleet week, the navy

salaries, we work hard, and this response, you can't stop. >> you have people of all ages participating this, specifically the children, the school children, so many of 9/11. what do you hope they get out of this nonprofit in doing this work? >> i think the important thick is they take first responders and the military for granted a lot of times until you need them for an ambulance to come or police officer to come over and help you, no one says thanks to them. and it is really important, shake their hand, you know when you see them personally, if you're in an airport and see military, go up and say thanks for your service, we hope that this project, it is so simple. it is easy. it will start a lifetime of service because they get a good feeling from it initially because it is so personal and then we hope that they serve for a lifetime. >> ill stilling that patriottism. we have a few seconds tell me what you guys are doing on
