I sent what I could. It wasn’t enough though, but I wanted to make sure they know we support them 100%.

If you want to do double duty, go to http://www.concretebob.freeservers.com and click th link for US Cavalry. You can order good stuff, USCAV will take care of shipping, and a percentage of the proceeds goes to Soldiers Angels and Warrior Legacy Foundation.

Speakeasy says:This sounds fishy. If it is military gear the military can replace it easily. If we are talking about personal gear, iPods, laptops, etc., maybe. The military takes care of its own- I know first hand. If it is just to improve morale, I’m all for it. Just make sure this is not a scam- we have had so many in this war.

As someone directly involved in this, I can assure you its not a scam. Thank each and everyone of you for stepping up and helping. These Warriors were literally EVAC’D with their weapons and the clothes on thier backs.

TraciB,
I had a problem but elimnated the section on who I wanted to honor.

In the second section, under “Memorial or Tribute” make sure it is on “neither” and it should work. That is what messed it up for me at first, as it wanted a name and address of a person. Try that, anyway…

Anyone else having the same problem as rightisright? I can’t get the cc donation page to work either.

UPDATE:

“Tanker Babe” [http://tankerbabelc985.vox.com/library/post/survivors-in-afghanistan-need-immediate-help---56-surviving-soldiers-lost-everything.html] reports that personal necessities have been fully addressed in a spontaneous outpouring of support for the 56.

The recommended donation venue is now the aforementioned American Legion fund drive.

So that’s the way I’m going.

SSG Medzyk -

Having spent almost 4 years awhile back sending personal care packages to GWOT-deployed (mostly) Marines that reached almost 3,000 of our “few and the brave”, you’re on.

I’ll be glad to partner your concern.

kept getting error on Address line #1, city, Invalid city, state zip? Much rather use my c.c. instead of writing a check, anyone have an idea what’s wrong, all the info is there and correct.

Have donated but also want this message to become viral.

Malkin readers, get busy and get the word out that these brave men need our support. I sent a message to all in my contact list who I thought could donate even a little…for the sacrifices our soldiers and Marines endure daily, please help.

I sent $100 worth of gear……

….match me.

Winter is on. They need socks (green, knee high), thermal underwear, gloves (military or heavy police style) etc. If you are close to a military base with a decent PX or clothing sales, gain permission to shop for these men.

This was one of the most intense battles we have engaged, and these men stood firm and refused to give ground. Reflecting the finest training, best gear, and the iron will of the American combat Soldier.

Their sacrifice is legend.

Maggie’s Notebook…

In the midst of the worst fighting of the War on Terror, emotions are raw and feelings conflicted. American forces in Afghanistan are said to be depressed, disillusioned and demoralized. Two chaplains of the 10th Mountain Division’s 2-87 Infantry …….

Money sent and I am tweeting the link and will find similiar diaries on other sites to post this information to. This should be VIRAL….no soldier should have have to wonder if WE care because even if the President doesn’t We The People of these United States do!
