LINK UP TO SUPPORT THE TROOPS
It's titled "The Troops Need You, America!: Six Ways to Help Them Win From Your Living Room" and is available at either his website TROOPS NEED YOU or at Amazon.com.
Maj. Eric Egland, the author, previously served on the front lines in both Iraq and Afghanistan. He has graduated the Air Force Academy, holds a Master of Science in Strategic Intelligence from the National Defense Intelligence College, and has briefed Congressmen on his Plan from the Troops.
On the home front, Maj. Egland wanted to see a database set up to match people who want to donate items and money with a list of what is needed in Iraq. One thing Maj. Egland told me in person was that they first started giving out candy to girls in the neighborhood to build goodwill, but the little boys stole it, so now they contacted a group of women in America who make homemade dolls. Dolls are an item the boys don't want to steal. If discount and closeout sales of tools occur at WalMart or Sears, most people wouldn't buy an extra three battery powered drills for themselves, but if they knew they could help the troops in Iraq, they just might.
Hat tip Jack Kemp for his article on the website American Thinker
