Soldiers' Angel - Holly Aho

THIS POST WILL STAY ON TOP TILL JULY 5TH. SCROLL DOWN FOR NEWER POSTS

It's the middle of the year. No big holidays in sight, no special seasons that inspire our generosity. And yet this is the time of year when donations are so very needed to help support our military men and women. The wonderful donations given to Soldiers' Angels at Christmas have long since been used, and yet the need is still great. I'm sure even the troops have noticed the trend - during Christmas and other big holidays they are swamped with carepackages and letters of support, which is great - really it is! Yet it has to make them wonder where that support is the rest of the year. Do we give because we are 'supposed to' during the 'season of giving'?

It is always the right time to thank these men and women, and show our appreciation for their service. Wouldn't it be fun to show we really mean our support day in and day out, 24/7, with a large donation to Soldiers' Angels that will let our troops know we always support them, no matter the season?

I've added a donation meter at the top of my blog, and it would be nice if this meter could be seen from many, many blogs. Not only will it help spread the word about Soldiers' Angels, it will be a visual reminder of our support that our troops can watch rise. If you'd like to add the meter to your blog click the word 'Copy' on the meter itself, and the code will be displayed.

I've set the meter for $100,000 by July 4th (seemed fitting). Let's show thanks to our troops for their service and sacrifice that makes our freedom and independence possible!
