How DO we support the troops?
Possible answers might include the following, although the list is far from exhaustive:
- donate to charitable organizations that send care packages overseas
- donate to Paralyzed Veterans of America or similar organizations
- write your elected representatives to press for better military pay, veterans health benefits, body armor, shorter deployments, etc.
- write your elected representatives to call for U.S. withdrawal from Iraq
- greet returning soldiers at the airport
- put a magnetic ribbon on your car
- visit patients at the local V.A. hospital
- vote Republican
- vote Democrat
- send your own care packages addressed to "Any Soldier, Iraq"
- fly your flag on Memorial and Veterans Day
- pray daily for their safety
- think general good thoughts about them and tell people that you support the troops
- enlist in the military to give them a helping hand
- encourage your relatives to enlist
- drive a fuel-efficient car
I could keep going, but that should be enough to jump-start your thinking. I look forward to reading your perceptions of how America is collectively supporting her troops.
