Don't Forget Them!

From a recent Email:

Americans, So, as you already know, we are a country at war. There are thousands of men and women who are over there putting themselves in life threatening situations every single day. And it's all for you! They do these things out of shear pride and love for their country! They don't ever ask for anything in return, and that is exactly what many of them recieve. Nothing. Not even a single letter! There are four thousand Men and Women listed on Anysoldier.com who get nothing during mail call.! I don't know about all of you, but that doesn't seem right to me. We go about our lives free and able to do what we please. We can worship whatever God we choose to believe in, we can to college, we can feel safe in our homes every night, we can even burn our countries flag and NOT be punished for it. That is how much freedom we have as Americans. It is because of our service men who risk their lives that we live in such a wonderful place. Four thousand (think of how many people that really is) of those service men and women feel alone and forgotten. Is that fair? You won't ever hear a complaint though, they are silent heros. If you would like to help make a change, please do. It's very easy to write a simple letter about yourself, your life, your job and send it to someone who is risking their life for you. The website: Anysoldier.com, is very self-explanitory. If you have any questions you can contact the woman who brought this to my attension: Cathey Meskel. Her E-mail address is: Soldierwatch@hotmail.com Please pass this on. Even if you don't wish to participate, someone else on your E-mail list may want to and could change a life forever! Sincerely, Jaime Simpson

NOTE: 2 or 3 minutes to email a soldier; that's all it would take. Why not do it now? Instead of telling only the guys at the bar that great fishing story, why not share it with a sailor serving their country?

Somewhere overseas, there's an Army grunt that would love to hear about how you talked your way out of that speeding ticket.

We checked out Anysoldier.com and it's a great place. Click on the banner below and it will take you over and get you started. Do it today: it will only take a few minutes. Tell a Marine about how the Steelers beat up on the Bengals Sunday night.

It's the least you can do.

Americans,

Nothing.

Not even a single letter! There are four thousand Men and Women listed on Anysoldier.com who get nothing during mail call.! I don't know about all of you, but that doesn't seem right to me.

Honoring Heroes At the Holidays

There are thousands of worthy causes jousting for our attention, our time and money. But the following was brought to our attention by the ever-indefatigable Spree over at Wake Up America and we're glad she did.

Move America Forward is a group of volunteers which has sprung up to help U.S. troops and this is the latest effort by their fairly-new organization.

Below is a start of the article Honoring Heroes At the Holidays Tour, it's a good read for sure, but there are also a ton of pictures of Americans helping other Americans.

Just the thing to get yourself going in the morning or to put you in a good mood before you turn in.

On Tuesday, November 13th, Move America Forward [website:www.MoveAmericaForward.org] hosted the first event in what will be a 40-city cross country pro-troop tour to rally the American public to support our troops and their missions.

Along the way we're asking the public (including you) to help us collect and send over 100,000 Christmas, Hanukkah and holiday cards to our troops. The media coverage we got from our first event was outstanding - some of the best reporting you'll see about our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Please spread the word on these reports below. And help us collect those 100,000 cards for our troops during the Christmas and Hannukah holiday season.

From Move America Forward's Daily File:

Film crews worked several hours on Tuesday as flag-waving patriots, veterans, and even active duty servicemen and women showed up for a day of honoring our troops at Sacramento’s Land Park. More than 100 folks made greeting cards, sang, and packed boxes of goods for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

What happens when the sun is casting warm rays in a family park and hundreds of patriots show up to thank American troops? The whole world will soon see when commercials are aired nationally to thank our Armed Forces.

The group needs donations. If you wish to contribute to Move America Forward, click on the link. They could a hand, the troops would benefit and you might feel as good as those in the pictures above.
