veterans: Photo of the year! The New Ms. America - 06/01/19 05:15 AM
All Ms. Americas!!! Photo of the Year!
We see lots of pictures of wounded male veterans but women vets get wounded and maimed too. You may need to take a second closer look though.
The first thing I saw was a bunch of beautiful smiles. Study this picture again. Let the story it tells sink in.
These women and many others, as well as their male comrades,  paid the price for our freedom.
God bless our troops!

veterans: Xerox is doing it again this year - send a card to a soldier - 12/04/09 11:33 PM
XEROX IS DOING SOMETHING COOL
If you go to this web site,   http://www.letssaythanks.com/ you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed services. It is FREE and it only takes a second. Our soldiers over there need to know we are behind them. This takes just 10 seconds and it's a wonderful way to say thank you. Please take the time and please take the … (1 comments)

veterans: Who Will Provide Mortgage Relief for American Veterans Wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan? - 04/23/09 10:57 AM
Clearly, everyone who has trouble making mortgage payments does not deserve a bail-out. But figuring out who does is proving to be tricky. So while the Obama administration scrambles to check the surge of middle-class foreclosures, many Americans will continue to complain that not enough is being done, that they have been left out. There is one community; however, that DOES deserve help, in a big way and soon – current era veterans who suffer from life-altering injuries connected to their military service. If the U.S. government fails to address their housing problems the heavy burden will bring down more of … (0 comments)

veterans: Happy Veterans Day - 11/11/08 02:57 AM
Veterans Day
By Taylor Weinman
 
Representing the red white and blue
The colors of our flag stand out proud and true.
The white stars on blue background with red and white stripes
Remind me of these veterans, who all risked their lives.
Just so the people of the U.S. could all live in peace and be free
These are the heroes that represent you and me.
They stood up strongly, untied as one,
And kept up the fighting until they were done.
And although some have fallen, and lost their lives in war,
We pray for each one of them.
