SUPPORT OUR TROOPS

Hey everyone....

The temperatures are rising...thinking about the beach...or the mountains...or just kicking back with a cool one...

Well, I am gonna remind you all summer long...all YEAR long that we must also remember to support our troops...

There are a lot of ways to do it...a lot of dedicated people that have created websites and donate countless hours in many creative ways...

Packages From Home You can donate money or items - a list of drop off locations is on the site...there also is this:
NOTICE: We have several special requests for specialty items to help our troops make it through the heat of summer in the mideast. OPERATION SUMMER COMFORT is designed to help supply our troops with UnderArmour® T-shirts, sunscreen, gatorade-type electrolyte drinks, and CoolTies to help ward off the ill effects of sun poisoning. Please help with your donation today. Thank you!

Instructions for making Cool Ties along with pictures...

Or, you can buy Cool Ties for the troops...

America Supports You has many suggestions: donate computers (for the families here that are unable to communicate with their soldier(s) via email); donate frequent flyer miles; donate gift certificates; homes for our troops - building and remodeling handicap accessible homes for our severely wounded veterans; help for the wounded; training and placement for veterans; help for military families...

It's not about YOU...

...it's about THEM...

ALL of them...

DO IT! - take time out of your busy life...set the cold one down for a moment...turn off the TV...delay your golf game for a few moments...

Stop everything...just for a moment...and do something that will make a difference...
