I would like to send a BIG WELCOME HOME to the 300 paratroopers from the 82cnd Airborne Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team who have just returned home after a 13 month deployment to Iraq. The soldiers arrived home Sunday shortly after 11am.
Recently, it was brought to my attention that there was a non-profit organization that was committed to helping our troops that returned home with serious injuries. The help is in the form of money, building materials and professional labor to make possible the building of a new home or adaptation of … (7 comments)

Finally I have the answer to a question I have been asking. When was this military force now going on in Iraq ratified by congress and declared a war. The answer is IT WAS NOT.
When it gets right down to it, nothing compares to the cost of freedom. It's the highest price of all, and we are paying dearly for it, every one of us now. What can we give today? Gratitude. Very few of us support war anywhere, but isn't it essential that we support, among … (8 comments)
There is a huge internet campaign going on right now sponsored by MoveAmericaForward.org and Michelle Maulkin. The goal is to send the largest amount of care packages to our troops in Irag and Afghanistan EVER! You can pick a package starting at $15.99. Anyone interested can go to
If someone had an idea, I mean a very good idea, to get us off of oil, get our troops home, help our economy, save our environment, lower interest rate by 200 basis points. I could go on and on what it cures.
It's not about barbeques, or an extra day off, or going camping.
I am a stong supporter of our military. I believe in the work that they are doing in Iraq and I also believe that it is a job that needs to be completed. I have a brother-in-law and 2 cousins who are serving in Iraq right now. I also have 3 friends … (21 comments)

For all of you travellers out there, let's do this!!!!!!!! As I watched this, I was really moved at what a simple gesture can do for someone. Please thank our men and women for their unbelievable sacrifice! You will feel wonderful. 
Did you get a new cell phone for Christmas? Did your kids? Did anyone you know get a new cell phone?
Though today my business is technically "closed", I just wanted to stop in and wish each and everyone in the Active Rain community a very Merry Christmas!

I just heard about this website on my way to work this morning, and I want the world to know about it; so here I am. Let's Say Thanks.com is a web site that gives anyone the opportunity to send a free printed postcard to our military personnel overseas. 
A good friend of mine, and ActiveRain member, Joe Sayegh, sent me this a couple of days ago. It's an incredible and moving tribute to our troops! See below:
I'm sure there are many of you who would like a way to say "Thanks" to our troops in Iraq and Afganistan. Visit one of these sites and you can easily send a "Thank You" to a soldier during this holiday season.
The year we are blessed to have a new baby in the family and he is visiting us for Thanksgiving!
Again, please pardon me if you're aware of this, but I think this is just so cool, everyone should know about it.
When you are making out your Christmas card list this year, please do not forget our Soldiers that fought for our freedom. Please remember them by sending a Christmas card through :
Whether you are for the war or not I think we all stand behind our troops and support them. (or at least we should) Since the Holiday times are upon us we should all do something nice. It's the little things that mean a lot. Now you dont even have to … (5 comments)
What better way to celebrate the upcoming Veteran's Day holiday than to take the time to ship a care package. If you don't know a particular soldier then there are some great websites that can direct you such as www.troopcarepackage.com, www.anysoldier.com or www.treatsfortroops.com. Ship pre-packaged, non-perishable food and powdered drink mixes, … (3 comments)

The parades are over, the fireworks displays were wonderful, the picnics gave us time to spend with our families and now it is the day after. I can't help but think even today all that our troops are doing to insure we get to continue this tradition in the coming years. … (3 comments)
We had a well known saying when I was serving in the Army, "Hurry Up and Wait!." Unfortunately this old adage still seems to be alive, well, and accurate.
