Yes! I think this point in particular needs to be emphasized.
Example: "How would you like to have photos that show your VFW (American Legion, etc.) members supporting our troops to be posted on internet webpages THAT ARE READ BY OUR TROOPS OVERSEAS AND ARE A GREAT ENCOURAGEMENT TO THEM?"
The VFW post here has a computer with a modem line and a printer in a back room, and I've seen them printing off the Fort Collins Freep thread to pass around.
Another good point I just thought of, especially to hit home with the 50-something vets:
"Remember the protestors 30+ years ago who spit on returning vets? Remember how nobody bothered to go out there to stand up against them? Well, those peaceniks are still around! They're 30 years older now but no smarter (dumber actually). And they're still out there on the street corners - right here in town, in fact. And they would be very happy if they were the only ones out there on that street, and they got their pictures taken by the local rag, and it got clipped and sent to soldiers overseas who are putting their lives on the line for our country. Well, this time around there are a small number of us who are determined to stand up to them. But we're outnumbered and we need your help"
