I’m late to the party, but I agreed this weekend to help Move America Forward gather people to send boxes to the troops. We send boxes to a soldier we’ve connected with via Soldier’s Angels (and btw, take a moment and help them get a new social media website by clicking on a contest link), but this is a chance to simply click a button, give a card, and let a soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan get some stuff and be reminded that – even for a moment – you were thinking about him or her.

So click here and spend the price of a moderate dinner to send some useful swag to a serving soldier; take a moment and write a few words and let them know you’re paying attention.

Because while all of us are worrying about the SP500, M1 and CDO – they are worrying about staying alive, defending innocents, and taking it to the bad guys.

I’m trying to gather other bloggers to help out and creating a team – “COINs” – to see how many packages we can send. Suggest it to other bloggers you know (they can just copy and paste the link at ‘click here’), and pass the word – please.

Send at least one, and say a few words when you do.
