I'm A LIBERAL And Proud Recipient Of....
A Certificate of Appreciation from the 67thCombat Support Hospital in Wuerzburg, Germany.

I go around collecting DVDs of TV shows from production companies and Emmy voters, and sending them to the wounded troops at the hospital every month.

Yes...from Evil Hollywood Companies and Individuals. Who are among the most generous people you will find anywhere.

My plaque says:

IN RECOGNITION OF YOUR OUTSTANDING SUPPORT TO SOLDIERS IN THE VICTORY WARD. YOUR OVERWHELMING CONTRIBUTION OF THE VICTORY WARD IS DEEPLY APPRECIATED. THE SELFLESS GENEROSITY YOU DISPLAYED HELPED BOOST THE MORALE OF OUR HOSPITALIZED SOLDIERS. YOUR ACTIONS BRING GREAT CREDIT UPON YOU, YOUR FAMILY THE 67TH CSH/WMEDDAC/348TH GH AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Not bad for a Murka-hatin' librul, huh?

10. Yes, that's REAL support
Not sending them off to die for no reason without enough armor and then pointing fingers at anyone who dares to question this.

Good for you!

7. Thanks for helping the troops you dirty liberal.
How sad that their sacrifice is for Bush's folly. Bush has betrayed his sacred trust to these men and women. It will be liberals that make sure these troops get the benefits and care they deserve, now that their lives have been shattered by neocon oil barons.

9. Thanks So Much, It's Not Too Much Work Really!
I had a friend who is an Emmy Voter talking about what to do with all the "for your consideration" DVDs so I thought, I'll bet those guys int he hospital are sick of seeing the same movies and would love to see stuff like "Friends" etc., just dumb comedies and stuff from home.

So I just call and make the rounds every couple of weeks and send some in a "flat rate" envelope, it doesn't really cost that much, very easy! I even made a sheets of labels so the addressing & customs form is really fast to do also.`

Also collect the Sports Illustrateds etc., from my Doctor's office...everyone I ask is happy to give stuff like that up and in fact a lot of it ends up in the trash anyhow.

13. Thank you for showing REAL support for our troops
you are supporting them by bringing joy to their lives instead of waving a big flag and cutting their benefits.

You madam, are a good American. :toast:

20. Our troops need a taste of home
Thank you for lifting up these brave young people's spirits.
I pray everyday for these troops to be safe.
I have a son, and I can't imagine knowing he is somewhere far away, hurt in a strange land. A small thing like a TV show could be therapy for their soul

26. Interesting, I work at a public library and these items are frequently
donated to us. We can't even offer them to our fundraising group.

Can you give me contact info for you? We are very apt to be getting some soon since it's award show season.

Right now we (I hate to say this) have to destroy them.I hate to see them wasted like that.

Can you give me any info on this?

Congratulations! Nice work--that's just great!

30. if the original poster can't handle mailing more stuff,
Try www.anysoldier.com for up-to-date contact info for soldiers overseas. Read their FAQ carefully before sending anything. You ship to APO addresses which requires regular U.S. postage.

DVDs and magazines are among the often-requested items. Hooray for your being able to help out! :hi:

32. I'll check to see if it violates any copyright laws; gotta go STRICTLY
by the book, but if it's okay, I can't wait to do this!

31. Why do you hate America and the troops so much?
Just kidding! Thanks for supporting the troops with your time and your effort. A yellow magnet attached to a bumper isn't really the same thing.
