WANNA DO SOMETHING REALLY NICE FOR THE TROOPS? Well, you should!
Have extra frequent flyer miles? Some brave soldier could sure use them to go see his or her family when they get a pass from Iraq.
GREAT Additional links listed here:
Care packages for our troops. Great for clubs, organizations or a family showing the importance of our military and helping others to their children.
For a list of VA hospitals that need volunteers go here:
Race fans are some of the most patriotic folks around. They love our military. We've been having military flyovers at the Track for as long as I can remember. One reason I think it went from a regional sport to a national sport were from all the military that saw races when stationed in the south and turned their family & friends onto it when they returned home.
No matter what you think of our government or President, what we have here in this great country is the best there is on this earth. We have what we have ALL because of our brave military forces.
Have you protested the war, any war?
...then you owe the fact that you can do that to our military and veterans.
Do you complain at the water cooler about our government?
...then you owe the fact that you can do that to our military and veterans.
Are you a female who dresses as she pleases?
......then you owe the fact that you can do that to our military and veterans.
Are you sitting at work or at home in relative comfort reading this?
......then you owe the fact that you can do that to our military and veterans.
I believe it is EVERY single person OBLIGATION to support our military and veterans. The pay they receive is ridiculously low especially when you consider what they do for us in return. It is unacceptable that any military man or women or veteran be treated the way they were after Vietnam.
Don't have money, how about your time? I volunteer at the VA hospital here in Charleston SC and it has brought me to tears when a veteran missing his legs has thanked me for passing out magazines. Him thanking me....trust me I thanked him. I can't tell you how many times I have been thanked by a veteran for volunteering there. Call your local VA hospital and give what ever time you can.
Below are some places I've found that help our military in some way.
Check it out to see if it is something within your means you can do. You owe it to them.
