I know many of you may have family or friends serving in the Armed Forces and I feel that regardless of your stance on the war or on American involvement in other countries, it is important to support our troops. Not because we "agree" with the reasons behind the war, or with White House policies, but because we are America - and we care for our own. Because the soldiers who are sent go out in our name - and because it is the least we can do for those who put themselves in harms way for our peace and safety at home.With this in mind, I have searched for ways to show our support to our troops. The following are some things that I think you might like to know about.
