This is a bit off topic but I am posting here to catch those who wouldn't see it in the O'Club.
Quite a few of us say we support our troops in this and all conflicts. many don't have any idea how they can tangibly do so. There is an organization that exists to let you reach out and help support a soldier in a real and meaningful way. This isn't empty flag waving or posting mere messages on a bbs most soldiers never see. This is a way to lend your support for real.
A web site known as adoptasoldier.com lets you have a way to write to a particular soldier on active duty. This means you can help let them know they are supported and that someone cares about them. You sign up and this organization will pair you up with a soldier that might not otherwise get ANY mail from home. remember these men and women are usually far from home and the familiar world they knew. They may be in harms way or prepping for it. They need to have some contact from the homeland that lets them know they are appreciated and that someone gives a damn about them.
Please sign up and help them through this tough time. If you are a vet, use your experiance to mentor a junior soldier. They often need someone to talk to and express themselves whare they can't in the unit. Give them te advantage of YOUR experiance and help them to succeed.
Here is the web address again. Sorry I don't know how to post a link. Perhaps another more puter literate person could do that on this thread.
www.adoptasoldier.com (http://www.adoptasoldier.com)
PS I signed up today after seeing the service was back up. It was discontinued briefly over the anthrax scare. :(

excellent idea!
i was (and still am) lucky enough to have a caring family, but when i was in the gulf, i still received a few letters from people back here in the states due to the massive "to any solider" program. and let me tell you, even though i received letters from family and friends, it meant as much to me to receive letters of support from those i didn't know. it showed me that, apart from those that i KNEW that cared, it meant a helluva lot to know that other's did as well. therefore, i can only guess how much it would mean to those who aren't as lucky as i was during that time to know they're thought of.
again, EXCELLENT idea, and thanks for the post. i'm off to sign up now, and encourage others who care to do the same! :)

i just caught your reply stomper, and i'm not going to get into this, and reply all you want to MY post (this one), because it'll just be ignored...but people like you make me sick! it makes me ill to think that people who are serving our country today are protecting some POS such as yourself! but, i guess that's what makes them BETTER than YOU could EVER hope to be.
GOD BLESS THE U.S.A. AND IT'S ARMED FORCES!

All kidding aside, I agree Tuck. I received 3 or 4 letters from total strangers during Desert Storm and they meant alot to me to know that folks actually cared. Stomper...get bent.

Any of you come anywhere near Raub, and I'll bust your chops... he's mine! I haven't invested all this time and energy in him to have some smooth talking newbie steal my GI!!!

Stomper,
You really don't have a fediddleing clue about the real world do you? Time you grew up.

I guess I already adopted a few... National Guard has taken over my office at the airport.

Stomper had proven he IS nothing more than a troll... and a poor one at that.

Oh...as I stated in the OC there is an indiv who flys Bish who goes by the handle of Stomper. I suggest we find out IF this is the same indiv... if so then we direct the AH community to read his crap. Perhaps he'll reap what he sows.

Hmmmmmmmmmm ...
nothing tasty as a witch hunt ...
Btw event if I dont agree with Somper he has the right to express his opinion at leats he don't use bomb !
//wearing flame suit
VIVA the greek colonels !
VIVA Amin dada (we put our own dictator in France ;))
Who need democratia ?
Do you thing the people thoses country were in love with France or USA when under dictature ?
Open your eyes.
If you support a dictator you are a target for the rebel even if you believe that you are on the good side ... as it's not allways obvious :D.
PS: nice post SwampRat
I'm one of those people Tuck, soon to be headed for some "other land". While I will gladly defend stomper's FREEDOM to post things as such, I also go to bed with a smile each night knowing I'm defending lots of toejamheads, no problem, toejamheads need defending too so don't let it bother you.
During "Desert Storm" one of the coolest things I did was answer letters to a few families that had "adopted" me. It's a hell of a nice gesture and makes a guy feel good, especially during the Holidays, thats when it gets bad.
I encourage everyone to sign up!

Straffo coming from you I expect nothing else. He has posted this crap thus if he has ANY balls at all.. let him deal with it. If you cant handle this thing called accountablity then perhaps you need to shut your pie hole as well...

I admit my previous post is far from understandable.
I will explain my view further :
Don't expect people to react and think like you what is evil for you is perhaps natural for other and vice et versa
You got the point ?
I will take a practical exemple as you obviously need help to understand simple things .
In the late 60's the governement of Greece was about to become socialist or worst comunist ! (bad... evil... nauthy... comunist... berk... it's digusting...)
What happened soon ?
Oh... what a coincidence a Coup d'état How can it be possible ?
The Otan && USA are really lucky to keep Greece in west camp ...
holala ... they are very lucky ... what a strange coicidence ...
And neither Lindon Johnson nor the CIA was involved in the coup d'état... no... no... no ...
I can beleive that the good and democatic state of USA is able to promote dictature and execution of opposant it's no possible and Batista never existed ...
Ok now that you know that state reason can do bad think.
What should be the attitude toward USA of a men whose familly got killed in Greece ?
Who his guilty in his eyes and who is complice ?
hint : I know such a men and well HE DON'T LOVE USA ... what an idiot and nasty guy.

Straffo... fact is... I dont care. We diddlying won the cold war and we're going to win this as well. You can simply sit there and spew your toejam over and over but guess what? You dont matter. Your ideas, your thought process are in the minority... go fiqure. The US has the backing of every major power on this world... so once again... we dont give a rats bellybutton about WHAT YOU think. Your simply some leftover embittered RED who has seen thier "god" destroyed. Its pretty damn amusing actually.
ROTFL
See ya loser

So many argument in one sentence your philosophia teacher must be proud of your achievement...
Well as I feel a bit upset I will insult you :

You will make a great step forward the day you understand that the world is made of all color from white to black ... not just black and white.
