The Opposite Of Support Is A Let Down

Spewed by Venomous Kate in Blog bites, War Bites

Earlier, I listed a number of ways you can make the holidays a bit more merry for our military members. If you haven’t done so already, please do check out the ways to send soldiers some cheer.

One opportunity I neglected to mention: providing voice-activated laptops to military members who’ve suffered hand- or other injuries which limit their use of standard technology. My friend Kim is part of the Soldiers’ Angels team raising money for this worthy project.

I stand with those who stand for what I believe in, and I’m proud to support Soldiers’ Angels and Project Valour-IT. But, hey, if you can’t stand behind our troops yourself, I understand and hope you’ll stand in front of them instead.

season. I can’t even imagine how it must feel to be so far away from all your loved ones at such a special time of year. Actually, I can’t imagine what it would be like to be separated from them at any time of the year! So please go read this andthis, then decide in which way you would like to support our brave and beleaguered troops. She has listed some really great ways in which we can do so. I’ve chosen mine! After all, it’s the least we can do. Right?
