To all of my troop support brothers...

Fred, The hundreds/thousands of soldiers your(and the other coordinator's) efforts have touched and the hundreds here and at CS who have had the pleasure of contributing all salute.

I assume it can be frustrating for you to make a call and not get a huge response, but please know that even if we cant immediately respond, we hear your call. It reminds us that others are still in need and brings things in to focus for us. Before I joined CS, I often wondered silently what could be done to help our servicemen. But I never acted until seeing your call. While it may be time to reevaluate, please dont stop asking. As new people come to the board, they may wonder, as did I, what they can do to bring a smile to a lonely soldier.
