Here are a few things you can do to support our Veterans as well as our young men and women who are serving our country today.

The Veterans Business Directory features businesses run by Veterans. Check it out. You may find a service or product you can use there.

Move America Forward is an organization started by blue and gold star parents of soldiers serving our country in Afghanistan and Iraq. They send care packages, cards and letters to the troops. They are currently putting together Christmas Packages for the soldiers.

Let's say thanks will let you send a card to a soldier . You pick from an array of designs
drawn by children all over the United States, add a message of your choice and click-submit it to Kinkos. They print it and send it off. I send one each morning as part of my daily routine.
It takes about a minute. That's 365 cards a year.
If one of my cards brings a bit of cheer to one soldier it's well worth 365 minutes a year

If you're an old patriot like me, you might like to listen to Johnny Cash's Ragged Old Flag.
