Money better spent
« on: September 07, 2019, 04:33:56 PM »
I've played this game for a lot of years. First squad leader was in the Bishops with "Flak Happy" if anyone remembers...super guy!
Anyway, have not played much lately since the wife of 55 years has been going through chemo.
Recently we found out that the treatment has worked and shes now cancer free. Figures...Irish decent!
Been a tough going but we've been blessed.
So I thought as a USN-Ret veteran of 26 years I'd I'd like to give something back to people who served our nation in one way or another
instead of playing a game that was a fantasy and truly a waste of money when you think of it.
Can't do both but real people matter more to be now. Go figure.
So I'm quitting this game and funding an organization called, "Tunnel to Towers" please google the website.
Just to let you know the basics:
* 93% of the funds to the the recipients...yes, check it out.
* Just one of the programs is to pay off the mortgage of veterans KIA.
I know there are al lot of organizations out there that want your help, but if your playing this game I would believe
your heart is with veterans.
So, thanks to you all and really enjoyed flying with all of you guys.

  Glad to see people beating cancer.
 Tunnel to Towers is a great charity and My Favorite Radio Talk host has donated over 3 Million dollars through the sale of his "Stand up for Betsy Ross" T shirt.

    You better "Rush" to get one they are going fast!  :bolt:
