Every patriot supports our troops, even as we righteously disdain the lying bastard politicians who sent them to Iraq.
But "support" should be more than cheap words or yellow ribbons on your SUV. Do one thing every day that makes a difference to an actual, living, breathing American caught in the quagmire of Iraq:
1. Operation Unmet Needs
Nearly every soldier in Iraq has a family, and they're not getting rich.
In fact, many of them have serious needs that are not being addressed by the sons of bitches in the White House. You'll have to help fill the gap: it's our neighbors and friends who need you! http://www.unmetneeds.com/
2. Operation Helmet: http://www.operation-helmet.org/
"OPERATION HELMET provides helmet upgrade kits free of charge to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our forces are issued head armor (kevlar helmets) that offers the best protection known in the Military from bullets and small frags. That was the main danger in previous combat engagements and is still an important defense now."
"However, new elements have entered the picture, that of IED's (roadside bombs) and other explosives which these helmets were not designed to defend against. The blast wave, large frags carried thereon and the trooper being tumbled along the ground or inside a vehicle is producing brain injury ranging from concussion to death or permanent disability if the blast is survivable."
