Liberty Comes from the American Spirit and Some Well-Placed Rounds
I asked my brother, Joe Foo' the Marine, what he thought right after the election, and here's what he said: What I thought after the elections after seeing DU, Daily Kos, Michael Moore et.al, was the words of the governator in Conan the Barbarian: Anyway, today is Veteran's Day. It's also my older brother's birthday. I was thinking of posting his Amazon wishlist to help him get plenty of DVD's and such for when he heads to Iraq early next year. I don't know if he'd have wanted that, though. Plus, I can say his family has him pretty well-covered. What I would like is to post a link to are some of the charities helping out those overseas right now. I know there are some, but I can't remember them off-hand, so help would be appreciated. Anyway, for more on Veteran's Day, here is a tribute to a soldier who recently gave his life for us. If you know more good Veteran's Day links, put them in my comments. For those who don't know HTML, here's how you write a hyperlink: <a href="URL GOES HERE">TEXT FOR LINK GOES HERE</a> I try to remember every day that the only reason I have the freedom and the opportunity I do now is because of those who bled here and in lands faraway. As troops are fighting a real war now, it's sad we have to fight a media war back here in the States. Let's do the best we can to support them; it's the least we can do. 28 Responses To "Liberty Comes from the American Spirit and Some Well-Placed Rounds"

Bless all the troops! #17 - Posted by: Gullyborg on November 11, 2004 03:11 PMSpirit of America is one that I try to drop $25 or $50 on every month. They have a bunch of different programs, all of which help our soldiers to build trust - and therefore peace - with the Iraqi people. Soldier's Angels and Operation Gratitude, already linked in earlier comments, are also great charities.
Happy birthday Joe Foo'! Linked from Powerline...
