I've seen reference to several similar efforts. All of them generous, no matter the amount of money or goods donated. Some days back, I checked the AL site and one AL post in Florida raised $1000 for calling cards amongst a bunch of other things. I'd say we've done great with $1700 raised so far.
And yes I'm in Canada. The vast majority of donations have come from Americans; hence, every dime of that money has gone to American service men and women via the Red Cross. Like most, I have strong opinions about the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan; but this isn't the place to air them. The important thing is to remember the armed forces of both countries have been placed over there and anything we, sitting at home, can do to help is a good thing. Cheers,
Mike
