Give Thanksgiving Meals to Wounded Troops

Dear Patriotic American,

Have you thanked a wounded service member for your freedom lately?

The upcoming Thanksgiving holiday is the perfect time to do so, and in a minute I’ll explain how.

My name is Major General John K. Singlaub, U.S. Army (Ret.).

I parachuted into Nazi-occupied France during WWII to prepare French Resistance fighters for the Allied invasion, trained Chinese guerrillas for operations against the Japanese, ran covert operations against the North Koreans and the Chinese, and commanded all U.S. Special Operations Forces in Southeast Asia.
  
Now I’m working with the Coalition to Salute America’s Heroes, an excellent nonprofit organization that provides emergency aid to our troops who have been severely wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Many of the spouses of our wounded troops have quit their jobs to take care of them. Others have cut back to part-time hours to become caregivers. But now, with the national unemployment rate over 9 percent, many spouses who are able to work have lost their jobs as well.

Additionally, because of bureaucratic delays, and as reported by the U.S. Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs, disabled servicemen and women are waiting A YEAR, on average, to receive their first disability check after leaving the hospital and being discharged from the service.

So this Thanksgiving, many of these disabled troops will have trouble putting food on the table. In response, the Coalition is launching a Thanksgiving "Thank You" Meals project to help provide their families with meals over the four-day weekend.

Our goal is provide a $60 gift card to as many severely wounded troops as possible so they can feed their families over the Thanksgiving holiday.

So please make a special, tax-deductible donation to the Coalition’s Thanksgiving "Thank You" Meals program right now.

You can also send a THANK YOU and GET WELL card to show your patriotic support to a disabled serviceman or woman this Thanksgiving and let them know their sacrifice hasn’t been forgotten.

Please give generously.

They were there for us and now it’s out turn to be there for them.
