Reporters could do so much to help our troops - rally neighbors in communities across America - by simply reporting the truth - including the good news - good works, security sucesses - and real life sacrifices and needs of our Soldiers and their families, along with the true nature of the enemy we face and the war we fight, post-911, and the efforts being made by so many Americans - including business owners - who understand the cost of our freedom and care about our troops today.

Some temporary fix-its, as Americans work out the latest in what will inevitably be a long, long, series of emerging new problems as we fight this longterm war: take the pay raises the Senate voted for themselves, strip AP of their tax-free status, cut the staff of non-military government agencies in half - give resulting tax $$$ to reservists in need. *g*

Employer support for the Guard and Reserve

ESGR Mission: Gain and maintain active support from all public and private employers for the men and women of the National Guard and Reserve as defined by demonstrated employer commitment to employee military service.

Anyone who thinks the government will do a better job needs only to look at other groups made dependent on government largesse - from Social Security, to welfare - and know that 'entitlements' do not lift our neighbors, or unite and strengthen our nation.

The Arkansas National Guard troops in Iraq have a separate room for 'care package' booty - and never go without - thanks to grateful neighbors who rally other neighbors to help.

Best way we can help our troops and veterans is by finding out the local needs, informing our neighbors, and helping - with whatever support our troops and Reservists - our neighbors - need.

If only our free reporters used their powers for good, our troops would have all the support they need on the homefront, and around the world, imho.
