For the freedom you enjoyed yesterday... Thank the Veterans who served in The United States Armed ForcesLooking forward to tomorrow's freedom? Support The United States Armed Forces Today!
CAMP RUN-A-MUCK
So much has been said and written about our Vietnam Veterans and our military men and women over the past few days. The message out there is loud and clear: Americans support our troops! In my opinion the election we won this week for George Bush is indeed a message to our troops; that we trust you, and to our Vietnam Veterans; that we love you and want to make things right again. And to both groups; We do believe in you as much as you believe in us. Still I feel as though there is one thing missing- a proper THANK YOU for all your sacrifices. I have heard many stories in the past few days that active duty troops would like to see their brothers and sisters from Vietnam finally get the respect which has always been due them. With that in mind,this thread is dedicated to our troops, both home and away , for our Vietnam vets and for all of their loved ones. Most of us are sorry it took so long to get our message to you- please know many of us have held this message in our hearts for a very long time:
THANK YOU AND WELCOME HOME!
FEILD TRIP HERE!
Those Americans who went to Vietnam fought for freedom, a truly noble cause. You and your comrades-in-arms who faced danger and death in Vietnam fought as well as any Americans in our nation's history.
Vietnam was not so much a war as it was one long battle in an ongoing war -the war in defense of freedom, which is still under assault. This battle was lost not by those brave American and South Vietnamese troops who were waging it but by political misjudgments and strategic failure at the highest levels of government. The tragedy- indeed, the immorality-of those years was that for the first time in our history our country and its government failed to match the heroic sacrifice of our men in the field. This must never happen again. ~Ronald Reagan~
To all those who have worn the uniform of the United States of America I say to you: You are America.

G'Morning, Ma!
No, I don't chase Piper...not while she's walking! You know how it is with a puppy...how they don't realize that they're growing?
Well, Miss Piper is getting taller. Last night she walked right into the dining room table...smacked her forehead over her left eye pretty good! Poppa scooped her up and hugged her and cooed to her, and she settled down. But it wouldn't surprise me a bit if she continues to do that for awhile...it's a good thing she has her Daddy's hard head!

Fawnn, that's a good idea. We need to look into whether or not we can put the AAFES phone card link on the ProudPatriots site.
I think we can and should. I'll look into it.

Another one you might want to check out is the Operation Uplink that is done by the VFW. They help get cards to the Military. This is who I use.
