Thanks All and BTTT.
91B- Stay safe out there and Thank You for Your Service.
Praying for SPC Downs and All of the Troops.
Attention Needed
I know it is the holiday season and all of us are pretty much tapped out. I know we have all sent, or planned to send care packages to our troops or to do what we can. BUT here is a really good chance to do something important with that spare pocket change.
Words from someone who knows, Freeper 91B: "There is a soldier there from my unit, SPC Downs. He suffered amputations of both legs below the knee and was burned over 60% of his body after surviving an IED explosion that killed three other soldiers in the same vehicle (he was the gunner and was thrown free). I went to AIT at Ft. Sam and they told us that BAMC is the Army's foremost burn center. I know that lots of GIs from Iraq are recovering there."
God bless our troops, I know I am going to donate. Beside that I like Ted Nugent-the Motor City Mad man! IF you are a veteran or a soldier, please help out by bummping this thread, or ping ling your lists. You have sacrificed for us enough. Let the rest of us help out here. Merry Christmas, Happy Channuka, Happy New Year and pleasant day to you all!

Thanks for the ping Diva. I have delivered a quilt to the unit to be given to whoever they choose. I have a friend who has been a nurse in the burn unit for over 25 years. He is an angel .... his patients are his babies. Most don't last over 4 years in that duty, but he says he can't leave because he knows they need him so.
God bless our troops!!
Hugs.....
"TT", Beth & Nana
