I've decided to create a thread where people can put links to various charities that support our troops and our families.

Here is the first one.

Fallen Patriot Fund

dont know any offhand, but this is a petition to get congress recognize a biil that would address funding for the treatment of veterans with ptsd and like problems.

i found it as result of a vid posted here. here's the thread:

If you are eligible, join VFW...the numbers are dwindling! They also have a number of programs that are not widely known...best found out from your local post! Kinda like Masons....do not publicize.

Another is www.sentinelsoffreedom.org

These looking like pretty neat shirts and 25% go to charities supporting injured veterans and military family in need.

Thank a soldier

Here is another one.

Project Valor IT

Every cent raised for Project Valour-IT goes directly to the purchase and shipment of laptops for severely wounded service members. As of October 2007, Valour-IT has distributed over 1500 laptops to severely wounded Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines across the country.

Operation Uplink

With your generous donation, Operation Uplink provides free phone cards to deployed troops and hospitalized veterans to help keep them connected with loved ones.
