This same man came to my door around 8:15 last night. First he said he
was collecting money for kids to go to college. Then he commented on
our American flag and said he collects money for the military. When I
told him that we are an active duty military family, he changed his
story and handed me a worn out brochure about mental illness. I asked
to keep the brochure and he snatched it back and said he only had one.
