We don't honor our troops by denying the circumstances that got us into this. Today is not about politics, it's about the sacrifices made by service men and women. Sacrifices made for us, regardless of which side of the Iraq debate you are on.
Last year one of the groups I'm involved with raised $20K for wounded/disabled Veterans at the Yountville Veterans Home. Beginning in 2007, the group has also chosen to help support the Veteran's Administration Hospital "Hometel" facility operated by the VA Palo Alto Health Care System. The VA Hospital "Hometel" facility is a very much needed residence with motel-type rooms for wounded or seriously ill outpatients recovering from surgery or extensive medical treatment at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System. It's a great cause - tax deductible, even.
How about celebrating Memorial Day by doing something substantial for the troops who have already paid dearly? If you want to contribute, drop me an email and I'll forward the address.
Thanks,
Jim
