Remembering Our Local Fallen Heroes Thread

[Monkeydad]

Getting back to the purpose of the thread...

One of the best charities out there now is called the Freedom Alliance. 100% of their money goes to help send kids of our lost heroes to college on scholarships. It's the least we can do. Often the kids are forgotten after memorial services. They're missing a parent and perhaps the opportunity to afford college to make a future for themselves.

I've donated and would hope everyone else considers it, irregardless of political preferences and views on the war.

***Thanks for serving for us, angryssg. I sincerely mean thank you. My great grandfather, grandfather and father all served in WWI, WWII and Vietnam. I have the heart to serve but due to physical issues, I can't. I feel guilty about it sometimes and wish I could fulfill my duties, but since I can't I just do as much as possible to support those who are serving in my place and I want to make sure you guys know you are appreciated. I guess this willingness but not ability to be in the military is why I so passionately support and even defend you guys when you're not here to speak for yourselves.

I've tried to get into the DoD or a civilian service position so I can feel like I'm really doing more to contribute, but that job search is still ongoing.







By the way, I have to say one more thing about the previous bru-ha-ha. BSB just said I made a political statement...if you had read my previous posts BSB, I was saying to put politics aside. If you're incapable of that, I feel sorry for you. I've said all I'll say in this stupid argument. We need to honor and support our troops. If you can't, leave the thread and find one that you won't derail.
