Blackfive (or "Daddy Blackfive" as we call him) has a post up on Soldier's Angels, a charity that assists wounded soldiers and their families. It's stunningly obvious that they should not have to rely on charity, and yet the fact is that they do - and supporting that charity seems like a damn good thing to do.
Note that I'm still in favor of your giving lunch money to these guys as well...they all do good, they all need help.
Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
FYI, Soldiers Angels are already included in Winds of Change.NET's comprehensive Support the Troops post. Lots of options there.
Have to say this really pisses me off. That soldiers families have to go hat in hand to put bread on the table is a disgusting display of how wacked our government and policy is.
Why shouldn't they have to rely on charity? Those individuals who support the soldiers and their actions should bear responsibility for financing their missions and insurance costs.
