Support For Our Troops?

After I wrote the US Senators, I was trying to think of more ways to be a better patriot and perpetuate this timely evolution.  A few nights ago, while drifting off to spend quality time with my dream girl, I thought about how these stories could support our troops.  However, I don't know any women in the military; I don't even know anyone on active duty.  That's sad.  It's just that my family doesn't have a militant gene amongst the tribe.  My youngest brother, the philosopher, joined the Navy but somehow managed an honorable discharge as soon as was humanly possible.  Maybe, the officers felt sorry for him.  The poor guy was recruited onto a ship and is 6 foot 5 inches tall. I always imagine him sleeping in a bunk with his size 14 feet dangling out about a foot and then the stewardess' cart comes by and bangs his ankles like on The Wedding Singer.  Anyhoo, now he's a nuclear engineer and in the private sector enjoying life.  Plus, he's not a girl or a lesbian.

If you know of anyone on active duty who is far from home and would like semi-daily reminders of her community at home and what she's fighting for—FREEDOM for ALL!—, send the link to her (& the "G," "B," and "T," too).  I would love to offer support through my ramblings in whatever way I can.  I want to believe it will be more valuable than the 1 lb bag of ground coffee that had my Sharpie love note on it during the Starbucks for Soldiers drive in '09. 

I hope that a soldier with a flare for writing will feel the freedom, since the repeal of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell,' to share her/his story. And, I hope it is as big a catharsis for her & him as it has been for me.  Here's the link: http://twogirlsarebetterthanone.blogspot.com/  Also, you can look for the mini-icon at the bottom of any entry.  There is a "M" that stands for mail.  That will get it to them too. 

Cheers!
