Give a shit
Battle participant: “most people back home dont even know, no one gives a shit”
So, what's this soldier, a member of a unit who lost eight of their comrades in arms, a unit whose injured members refused to be MEDEVACED out in remain in the fight with their buddies, a unit whose soldiers, as the battle raged around them, donated blood so it could be transfused into their buddies.
What he is talking about, what most people back home don't know, is that the soldiers lost everything save for the clothes on their backs in the battle when their outpost was dessimated in the attack.
A devoted group of bloggers has done an amazing job to provide the bare necessities.
But, really, in your heart of hearts, do you believe that is nearly enough for these remarkable young men.
No?
I didn't think so.
You can do a little or you can do a lot. Every little bit helps. Send them a thank you card (you'd be surprised at the number of soldiers who rarely receive mail and what a tremendous morale boost a simple letter can be). Send a box of Slim Jims or protein bars (these guys don't exactly receive three hot squares a day) or a warm pair of socks. Send them something to occupy their down time - a book, some magazines (careful of the content), a CD or personal DVD player or an iPod(or other mp3 player).
Not sure exactly what to do or how your contribution can best be served? Would you rather just make a monetary donation and let someone who has "been there done that" figure out the best course? NOT a problem. Click below and The American Legion can give you even more info and help you out.
