in the past whe we were at war the whole country would sacrifice time, people, and resources in someway. nowadays the war is very distant and this can be dangeruos. especially when a group of people are left to shoulder the burden while the reast of us go on with our lives. maybe we would pay more attention if we were more involved with the war effort. so how do you think you can assist. by the war i served in iraq twice before you even go there.

thanks for serving first of all. I am thankful for the sacrifice you made for this great nation. My brother-in-law is at Camp Victory in Baghdad right now and will not be home until next May. I called the JustBorn candy company and them send a bunch of all the candies they make to his unit and many others there in Baghdad. I really wish I could do more, but I pray for them each day and for the President and our other leaders to make decisions that will end this whole mess soon.

I have donated my husband to the effort. He did a 6 mo. tour in 2004. Also, I give supplies for the troops to the Blue Star Mothers and my husband and I always remember the troops in our prayers.

Mixing the troops with the support of the war or in political bickering is not a good way to support the soldiers. if you want to support the soldiers leave them out of politics just like they have to serve regardless of their political beliefs.
I served too.

My daughter is serving in Iraq. My wife and I send her large CARE packages every month. We try to send enough goodys to share with her fellow soldiers. The BX doesn't carry a lot of items that she wants so we send it to her.

This is a war that should never have been started--and was startedBy Bush under flalse pretenses.
Tht is no reflection on the troops--they are victims of this shamefulpolicy as much as the Iraqi people are.
SUPPORT THE TROOPS--BRING THEM HOME NOW

My co-workers and I have donated many thinks to be taken over seas to our local troops: gum, candy, magazines, chap stick, instant beverages, so and so forth. Just little things to make them more comfortable. Also, I have written anonymously several times to show my appreciation for their sacrifice.

the apparel company that i own sends stuff to iraq - new stuff - not cheapie second hand stuff. and we haven't declared it as any sort of tax write off either.
it's a very small thing, but it's what i can do at this time...

the biggest way to support the troops is by not supporting the war

I will do my best to elect a leader that isn't interested in military-industrial theocracy ... and won't put our kids in harms way for personal or religious reasons
