P.S. Despite the arguments about your posts here, I think your heart is in the right place.
I remember posting a thread calling for people to write messages for soldiers overseas during the holiday season and mentioned Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. Boy, did I get flack about Kwanzaa.
I don't see why a thread asking to support our soldiers should be used to bash another issue. But I was also bashed when I asked for support for care packages to Camp Bondsteel in Kosovo in the summer before 9/11. Got an earful about a war that I, too, had reservations about, but why punish the soldiers?
And those soldiers from the 101st and 82nd that we sent care packages to in Kosovo ended up in Afghanistan and then Iraq. I was really glad some of us saw beyond the political axes to give cheer to those soldiers before they faced death and maiming.
