SUPPORTING OUR TROOPS

Am I the only person who finds it alarmingly concerning that our wounded veterans are having to rely on private charitable organizations to supplement the car and support they need after returning home wounded?

SHAME ON EVERY SENATOR, CONGRESSMAN AND MOST OF ALL, OUR PRESIDENT!!!!!

These brave young men and women signed a contract with our nation to serve, protect and defend our nation against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. It is a shame that the true enemy they are facing is our own government.

Our nation has a moral, ethical and above all else legal obligation to ensure that these men, women, and their families, receive the medical and emotional support they are DESERVE AND ARE ENTITLED and not have to rely upon support from private charitable organizations! I ASK,  REALLY WITH ALL THE WASTEFUL GOVERNMENT SPENDING OF THIS ADMINISTRATION ARE WE THAT MORALLY BANKRUPT TO NOT TAKE CARE OF THESE VETERANS AND RELY ON CHARITY?

Charity I was taught begins at home and it is about time the charity stop with foreign aid when so many of our returning service men and women so desperately need our help! Let's right this wrong and demand better for our returning veterans! I ask all you to take five minutes and call your Senators and Congressmen and demand that these returning veterans be supported with the aid they need, deserve and entitled before our tax dollars aid some third world country or other senseless spending program!

 

 

 

Support Our Deployed Troops

Having had the experience of being deployed with the U.S. Army/ Marine Corps; I had no idea, being Navy, how hard life was in the field as a grunt.  With the holiday season approaching I urge all of you to do the following to express your appreciation for our men and women serving in the field.

I respectfully encourage you, your children, and their schools to write letters to the troops. Yes letters. Mail is a huge morale booster. Ask your local church, synagogue, mosque and schools to sponsor support drives where items such as books, socks, toiletries sewing kits, baby wipes, razors, toilet paper can be collected and shipped overseas to our troops! Yes t.p. and other hygiene items we all take for granted.  Tremendously appreciated are items such as snack bars, little packages of drink mix  that you can add to your canteen such as Kool-Aid or other powdered drink mix, energy bars, hard candies, etc.

When traveling to a hotel next time, please take the soaps, shampoos, sewing kits, etc and donate them; also tremedously appreciated are baby wipes, and hand sanitizers. Ask your community to sponser paperback book drives, and games like magnetic checkers, chess, scrabble, decks of cards, etc. War is periods horrible feeling of extreme fear followed by boredom and exhaustion anything you can do to make our young men and women in the field feel a little more comfortable and appreciated is truly appreciated. 

As a community these items can be collected and boxed, and donated to local Naval or Air Bases to be transported abroad free of charge by contacting usually the base's chaplain or community service officer or the USO. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Lastly, please do not forget back home to help sponsor my favorite charity the U.S. Marine Corps. Toys for Tots! Thanks.
