I'm late to the party, but I agreed this weekend to help Move America Forward gather people to send boxes to the troops. We send boxes to a soldier we've connected with via Soldier's Angels (and btw, take a moment and help them get a new social media website by clicking on a contest link), but this is a chance to simply click a button, give a card, and let a soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan get some stuff and be reminded that - even for a moment - you were thinking about him or her.
So click here and spend the price of a moderate dinner to send some useful swag to a serving soldier; take a moment and write a few words and let them know you're paying attention.
Because while all of us are worrying about the SP500, M1 and CDO - they are worrying about staying alive, defending innocents, and taking it to the bad guys.
I'm trying to gather other bloggers to help out and creating a team - "COINs" - to see how many packages we can send. Suggest it to other bloggers you know (they can just copy and paste the link at 'click here'), and pass the word - please.
Send at least one, and say a few words when you do.

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.
