A very worthy read! I would also encourage people to make a trip to their local Dollar Tree. Many of the stores are collecting things to be shipped to our troops. Sure you can buy your stuff at other stores - and spend a lot more money, but at Dollar Tree you can get more bang for the buck - absolutely NO pun intended. It's not about how much you spend, but how much you care.

When I first heard the story my thought about the Marine was, "GOOD FOR HIM, his buddies are probably alive because he did."

People may or may not agree with why we are there but the men and women there deserve support from everyone at home.
