Donate blood. Amen. And pray, too.
Young, American, conservative-transcender, cocky, and black. Don't like it? Sounds like a personal problem to me.

It's easier said than done, but just don't ever forget them when this war is over. It's beside the point, but I think we all know that Iraq is probably just a battle in many yet to come.
The cold shoulder treatment our heroes received after they battled the evil forces of communism in Viet Nam shall never again be allowed in our nation.
I think in the 70s and 80s our country forgot that any thriving free republic needs its warriors, and always will.

"What can I do to support our troops?"
We Need You -- In the wake of the recent attacks on the United States, the Coast Guard Auxiliary will be called upon to provide essential services to the Coast Guard as they focus more heavily on their military missions. We will need all the help we can get.
You needn't own a boat or even be an experienced boater, since our missions are wide-ranging. For information about existing Auxiliary missions and the Auxiliary in general, go to our
Join the Auxiliary webpage. You will find there a form through which you can ask that a local Auxiliarist make contact with you to explore the ways in which you can assist Team Coast Guard
and, in the process, do something for our country in its hour of need.
Age 17 and up (no upper age restrictions) Click Here for details.

Do a random act of kindess. OK -- not so random because you want to target our servicemen, of course! If it is within your means, pick up a serviceman's bill for dinner the next time you see him in a restaurant. Pay for his groceries when you see him in line. Pay his toll, etc. I have been hearing stories of freaks calling individuals in uniform "babykillers." We need to counter that, at every turn, with positive acts.

and you can always donate to
http://www.NRSC.org and kick out the anti military lefties who would like nothing more than to slash 50% out of the defense budget to expand the welfare state.

Hi Jen, thanks for the ping. It's been ages since we've been online at the same time!
It has recently come to my attention that Elks lodges are sponsoring a program that will match volunteers with families of deployed servicemembers for assistance with errands, handyman work around the house, lawn mowing, etc... I believe it is a nationwide effort. If you contact your local Elks lodge, they may be able to help you.
Also, most bases have a Family Service Center either on base or at a convenient location. These centers provide lots of services, again including volunteer help and child care as well as classes and social events for military families.
The thing is, alot of us are pretty strong and independent (kind of comes with the territory) and we won't ask for help. If you know of an active or reserve family left behind, speak up! If you wait to be asked, it probably won't happen.
Very helpful and timely thread......GG
