I was reading niassa's blog about soldiers and what people can do to help out the wounded soldiers and their families. I have something additional to add to that, She had great ideas for giving, but this one is soooo easy. You don't even have to leave your house if your a freakin' hermit.
A HUGE help is Operation Hero Miles Basically, it's a place you can go to and donate your unused frequent flier miles (that no one needs!) and they use them for injured soldiers and their families to fly and visit their loved ones. I wish everyone would donate. It costs people nothing. It's a simple act of giving that can change someone's life.
If you can't donate, at least check out the site, and tell people about it! SPREAD THE WORD.
Pleaseeeee. That's all I ask, inform people.
Thanks,
Gwen
