It's time to say "Thank You"



I'll never forget the day when my dad brought me to Westover Airforce Base to say thank you to the troops returning from the Iraq-Kuwait war a.k.a. Operation Desert Storm.  It meant a lot just to say thank you for all of the risks those young men and women took just to keep us safe in the world.

Thanks to the Obama administration and the Bush administration, as of today most our troops are finally coming home from Iraq as Operation Iraqi Freedom has ended! (Trust me, if it was a McCain administration, that deadline would have vanished faster than Bill Clinton into a strip club.)

Here are some various organizations to help you say thanks to our brave men and women in uniform. The ones below span from donating your frequent flyer miles or volunteering at a welcome event at BWI.  Either way, find a way to donate some money or volunteer your time just to say "thanks".
