We speak so much about Iraq and Afghanistan and forget that we have soldiers serving in Korea, Philippines, Germany, Croatia, Gitmo, many places where our troops have a tough time getting things from home.
Anyway just wanted to point out there are many deserving of our kindness and generosity.
You are absolutely correct in there are many troops around the world that are not currently in the headlines, but doing their duty to keep us safe. My donation last year was to Operation AC for the troops in Iraq.
This year I wanted to spread it around a bit, and thought of the challenge as a way to generate some extra donations. Let's hope FReepers are up to it!
