No matter your political affiliation, it is your duty to support our troops! Men and women from the greatest nation on Earth of all walks of life have joined the greatest military in the world to defend your freedom. It does not matter if you are a pot smoking, tree hugging, stick worshipping, card carrying member of PITA and the DNC or a hard working patriotic American that knows exactly why they are free, it is your duty to support the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines that defend our way of life. Now don't get me wrong! I think that every free loading anti-American scum bag that is a citizen of this great nation has the right to do as they please. That is what freedom is all about: having the right to be a free loading anti-American scum bag! I may not like you but I chose my profession and I will defend your right to choose.

There are many fine organizations out there that support deployed soldiers and their family members. I ask that you help out when you can. Though you may think your contribution is insignificant, it counts. Even just a simple thank you in passing a soldier in uniform at the airport is a great contribution. Knowing people care means a great deal!

If you would like to help out but do not know how, please send me an email and I can point you in the right direction. As the time comes for my unit to deploy, I will try to organize and rally support for my soldiers via this page. Soldiers like anything free! Trust me! Free stuff rules! They can use foot powder and baby wipes but they like things that make them feel at home! They like magazines with cars, guns and hot women with guns in cars. They like DVDs, comic books, chips, letters from girls with guns in hot cars that include a picture with every letter! They also like junk food of any type, comfortable socks, smokes, chew, shaving kits and dental floss. Hand lotion, shower kits with the little froo-froo scrubber thing, letters from a child that want to write someone they think is a hero or a mom that wants to help out. They like home made cookies, deer jerky, a good book and a picture of all of your friends toasting them with the beer they want so badly after a long day! Knives, new gear and a Beta CMag always make great gifts.

Do soldiers really need all this stuff? Well, they need food, water, clothing, shelter and air to get by. None of us need any of the stuff I have listed. Many of those items they can buy at the PX when they have it. Some things are sent to them now and then by their family. But there is nothing like seeing the excitement on a soldier's face when he opens a box and see what is inside. It does not matter if it is a young private that has never been away from his parents for more than a few months or a crusty old major that even his wife hates, the feeling that someone cares is priceless!

Here are some things to remember: do not send anything that violates USPS rules that will get you or the soldier in trouble! Next, you are not supposed to send pornographic material so you should not do this. "Any Soldier" mail is prohibited. Many organizations our there allow you to sign up to donate items. They will assign you a soldier to donate to. Sign up and if you can't donate something, just be their friend!

Special thanks to the folks at National Dragster Magazine, ADV Video, Sabian and the huge list of others that sent stuff last time! I truly appreciate it and hope I can count on you all again!

If you would like to contribute to soldiers currently deployed, please email me and I will link you up with some friends currently down range.  I thank you for your support!
