Senior Coupon-Cutting Brigade Comes to Military's Aid

Pitifully, Shamefully It's Come to Little Old Ladies Clipping Coupons to Aid Soldiers in Iraq.

Sandy Sand:

Wheelchairs, walkers, damnable arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome pain don’t stop this cadre of little old ladies around the country from showing up at American Legion posts across the country to clip coupons to box up and send to service men and women serving in the Middle-East and elsewhere around the world.
What these women are doing to show support for those serving in far off places is more than commendable.
But the fact that they or anybody has to send coupons that are redeemable at post exchanges up to six months after their expiration dates is deplorable, criminal neglect on the part of the government that sent them there in the first place.
It’s a sure thing that private contractors raking in huge per diem salaries, and working side-by-side with enlistees don’t need coupons for toothpaste or any necessity unless they’re extraordinary cheapskates.
