Troop Support PSA
I have not blogged much lately as I have not wanted to post about about many of the topics parroted on so many of the blogs. I find most of the news depressing and tedious. However I would like to take a moment to ask all of you to get involved and really support the troops.
My wife and kids and I have used Books For Soldiers for several years now. If you are not sure where or how to help it is a great place to start. For a comprehensive place, try Soldiers Angels as well.
Imagine if all those detractors and so called "We support the troops just not the War" people really did support the troops? What a great thing that would be.
I was going through our files and just to show you what one family can do, here are a few stats about the care packages my family has sent so far:
ARMY..........29
MARINES......7
AIR FORCE...2
AFGHANISTAN..........6
KOSOVO..................2
IRAQ......................30
I am not asking for credit or applause. I just want to do what I can to bring a little of America and home to those who watch our back. There is a dangerous and evil trend building by those who put party and politics ahead of country. We must show those in uniform that we are behind them 100% and for the entire duration of their service.

I've got to agree, Soldiers Angels is a fantastic organisation. I'll have to check out books for soldiers too. Thanks for the tip.

If anyone's looking for a nice way to help a Hero, I've got a post up about a Soldier in Afghanistan who contacted Soldiers' Angels for items to help the kids there - True Heroes
