I've already donated a $100 to Hannity's cause this month and hope to give another next month. It's a great cause. Very generous FOL.

Great thread guys.

Come on you guys, show me what AO can do for our servicepeople that have given the ultimate for their countries.


This fund is a ONE HUNDRED PERCENT payback.

That's right, 100% of the funds goes directly to the recipients of the charity.

And those are the children of the fallen men and women who have died in Iraq fighting terrorism.

This monies collected are going to pay for the college educations of their children.

I hear a lot of support for our troops here on AO, put your money where your mouth is!

Any donation is worthwhile!

All I have to say about that link is damn. About those stories, as a former Marine it makes me very proud to hear them. It's not really a suprise though, Marines have been doing things like that since 1775. Those Marines are simply keeping the tradition alive. Semper Fi brothers!

Cleaned up too!

I 'cleaned' my post or whatever.
I honestly do not see how someone could say 'death to all soldiers'.
Most soldiers are in service because they want to serve their country, not because they want to get paid to kill arabs.. anyone who wants that has issues. I always have and always will respect members of the armed forces. My dad served as a marine post-WW2 in Japan for a while when he was young.
It hurts me to hear 'death to all soldiers'.

5pectre has been banned for coming into a thread specifically to cause problems and flame. All his posts have been wiped. Everyone feel free to clean your responses up as well, and get this thread back on track.

This thread is for stories about soldiers, and will not be politicized on my watch.

[trevorjk]

[cphilip]

Keep cleaning. I still feel dirty still from that guy. I mean no matter what your slant on this war NO ONE could even blame nor not want to help the guys and gals families... NO ONE!

Keep it clean. Think first.

Speaking of heroes I got to meet one today. Huntsville, AL. resident Michael J. Durant was signing copies of his new book, 'In the Company of Heroes'. I had him sign a few copies for me and talked with him for a bit.
