Help support our troops

So as I'm sure some of you know I HIGHLY support our troops.

Being a son of a Vietnam Veteran and grandson to a WWII Veteran, the services these troops provide us with is Freedom and they way of life we live, if it was not for them we may of never of had a blog to write or many of the other things we do each and every day. So I thank all the troops all around the world past, present, and future. God Bless You All.

Here is a photo of MY BEST FRIEND, MY HERO, MY FATHER while on his tour in Vietnam.



There will be a few local "SUPPOT THE TROOP DRIVE" s at the following locations. Feel free to go on down and give alittle something :)

Vietnam Veterans Of America Chapter 251 and the Sikorsky Veterans Association will Co-Sponsor a “ SUPPORT THE TROOP DRIVE “ at Wal-Mart 1365 Boston Post Road Milford CT on April 25 2009 from 9:00 AM till 5:00 PM.

Along with the collection of goods, we will have We Support Our Troops Flags that people can sign and leave an uplifting message to the troops. We will also have a poster board titled “ FACES OF FREEDOM “ where you can post a picture of your service member, loved one with his or her name and hometown.

All goods, donations, and signed We Support Our Troops Flags which are collected will be sent to our troops in harms way. Along with the drive we will also collect worn and tattered Flags for proper retirement.
