One Way to Help Our Troops

I won't do this very often, but at this time of year I think it is very important to help all those who need it. This year the ArDubby family is concentrating on helping those who risk, and sometimes give, their lives in the name of Freedom. Here is an excerpt from the Hugh Hewitt blog:

Finally, from a naval officer I respect a great deal, an e-mail on how to aid wounded troops in the two weeks left before Christmas:

"Yellow ribbons tied around trees and red, white and blue
stickers on the backs SUVs saying "Support our Troops"
are things that make civilians feel good but do nothing
for the men and women actually in uniform."

So please consider the following:

The number ONE request at Walter Reed hospital is phone cards. The government doesn't pay long distance phone charges and these wounded soldiers are rationing their calls home. Many will be there throughout the holidays.

Really support our troops --Send phone cards of any amount to:

Medical Family Assistance Center
Walter Reed Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20307-5001

They say they need an "endless" supply of these -- any amount even $5 is greatly appreciated.

Walmart has good prices on AT&T cards, Sams Club is even better, if you are a member.


I hope that you will seriously consider making a donation. Here are some other organizations helping our soldiers and their families:

Spirit of America
Soldier's Angels
