So, what do we take for this lesson? We can "Hoist that Rag" and do things together to help others.
I vote we do that from time to time. Pick a cause, do something to raise money for it, and then donate.
[165] and a couple others also helped send some basic supplies to a few enlisted folks in Iraq. I know doing such a thing is far less palatable to many of you, but politics aside, they could use a fresh bar of soap as much as the next guy. I really don't want to get into a foreign policy debate with this post....but if you think you missed your chance to help these particular GIs--who happen to have ties to one our forum-mates--maybe you should PM [165] and see if he is planning any further efforts.
