Historic Support For U.S. Troops!
Our good friend Melanie Morgan from Move America Forward sent me this tonight…I like it…
History is about to be made - and you can be a part of it. This June 26th, an unprecedented collection of patriotic leaders will be brought together - united by their shared support for the heroic service of the men and women of the United States military who are fighting on the frontlines of the war on terror. These leaders will come together to support the largest shipment of care packages to U.S. troops in history. In addition many will join with with our troops in Iraq & Afghanistan for an 8-hour Web-A-Thon (”From the Front Lines” from 4:00pm - Midnight, Eastern), to collect sponsorships for the largest single shipment of care packages to U.S. troops — in history.

The shipment is scheduled to go out days before the 4th of July, as a gift from the American people to our military men and women - to thank them for ensuring that our nation remains safe and free. The entire effort is being organized by Move America Forward - the nation’s largest grassroots pro-troop organization. Individuals can sponsor care packages via the MAF website:

** THE HOSTS: **
Michelle Malkin (super-blogger, author, TV analyst) & Melanie Morgan (Chairman of Move America Forward, author, radio talk show host) jointly conceived of this program and will co-host the 8-hour Web-A-Thon on June 26th (from 4:00pm - Midnight Eastern / 1:00pm - 9:00pm Pacific). Both have been to Iraq on the front lines of the war effort. The “From the Front Lines” program will be streamed live by UStream.TV - via this special “From the Front Lines” channel:

** THE TROOPS: **
If you have a friend or loved one serving in Iraq or Afghanistan, send us their name and mailing address and we’ll make sure they get a care package! Send addresses of troops to receive care packages to: poohdo@aol.com
Also, if you know any troops serving in Iraq or Afghanistan who would like to record a short “shout out” to the American people via video - they can record a video and then send to us now in a .wmv, .mpg, .mov, etc… format - we’ll incorporate it into the lineup and include it in the “From the Front Lines” broadcast.
Videos from our troops can include a greeting to loved ones back home; talk about why cards/letters/care packages from Americans are appreciated; discuss daily life in their missions; what they miss most from home, etc… Send videos from troops to include in broadcasts to: danny@MoveAmericaForward.org
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
this is excellent! lets get the word out and do whatever we possibly can
June 17th, 2008 at 8:07 pmAwesome…..and sad that only half the nation is represented. You would think our “we support the troops”, “don’t question our patriotism” pansies of the left could at least support a charity moral booster for the troops.
Sad we are not only fighting a war with one hand tied behind our back, but one hand attempting to pull that one hand behind our back while fighting.
June 17th, 2008 at 8:33 pmEven better. If we can show the Iraqi people that in our county’s sacrifice for them to have Freedom, we can celebrate new members into this brotherhood. Via the USA, freedom is spread where it has not been known and now for the first time, the lost may know the Truth, that being Jesus Christ. After all, is this not what Freedom is?

BoomBoom A man after my own heart
June 17th, 2008 at 11:40 pmHe is exactly what freedom is and the basis for the foundation of our great nation that we should be discipling other nations in.
Sad we are not only fighting a war with one hand tied behind our back, but one hand attempting to pull that one hand behind our back while fighting

And look how well we’re doing trying to untie ourselves. Man, if we had both fists up, you know there’s a list of people that would be getting wrecked.
Reminds me of a song by hed (pe):
They keep playing with me
Like every single day
Oh yeah but i got something
to put these haters in their place
Imma born American
A natural born killer
Yeah imma rude boy
Son im a predator
Harder they come
Harder they fall
One and all
I wanna see you suffa
Never lay down
Never say die
Never tap out
I wanna see you suffa
You might win some
But you just lost one
Im the champion
I wanna see you suffa
Harder they come
Harder they fall
One and all
I drop back then let em have it
