Operation
"Stars &
Stripes"
began their
7th year of support for our Troops in harm's way on March 7th.
We have
sent out 5,697 care packages with a cost of over $125,000.00 in postage.
Due to
the terrible economy it has hit our organization pretty hard over the last
couple of months.
We are
currently down to our last $1500.00 for postage money and that will
be gone by the end of April.
With postage
going up, it costs us even more to get our care packages out.
I am asking
all of you to send our web site www.operationstars.com
out once again to every one you
know to
help bring in more support. If you are able to make a donation it is greatly
appreciated.
This is
one thing I do not like to do, but when it comes to our Troops and Veterans
this is very near
& dear
to my heart. A care package sent out touches more than just the Airman,
Marine, Solider, Sailor
or Coast
Guard it reaches. They all share the goodies & toiletries sent.
I was thinking about this the other
day after
a good friend mentioned it to me a couple of months ago. Let's say everyone
in our town gave
$1.00 per
person in their household! We would be set with postage money for a long
time.
We waste
more than that on a cup of coffee.
Please
think about "Postage for Patriots" and do what you can.
We will
never be able to thank these brave
men &
women enough for what they are doing for us.
Thank
you so much for your support in the past.
In Friendship
& Support,
Meredith

The
Mesothelioma Cancer Center is committed to providing the latest, up-to-date
information
to
our visitors in the hopes of spreading awareness about the dangers of asbestos
cancer.
According
to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs,
there
are currently 25 million living individuals
who
have served in the United States' armed forces. Hundreds of thousands,
if not millions of these living
veterans
were exposed to toxic asbestos-containing materials during military service.
Asbestos.com
offers a one-stop resource on all asbestos issues ranging from occupational
exposure,
to treatment options after receiving a mesothelioma
prognosis.

Thank you!
You are my inspiration
We do this only out of respect
for those who did it for us.
We do this only because we
understand.
We love our freedom.
This is a very small price
to pay to show those who sacrificed how much we care.
