Thanks to the troops

| December 21, 2007

I’ve been tying up loose ends at work today (because I have four…count ’em…four days off) and trying to hook up with my former battle buddy so I missed this today – time to catch up.

Last week the guys at Blackfive, offered to assemble a video “thanks” for bloggers to send out to the troops for the holidays. This is the finished product. Some day I’ll figure out this embedding video stuff, until I do, just click, please. 

I don’t know how many Christmases I spent away from my family, with no computers, no email, no YouTube – not knowing what the people in my country were thinking about me and my troops – just doing our jobs and hoping for the best. This was a great opportunity to tell this generation of warriors that they’re loved and thought of fondly.

I’d like to thank Blackfive and Uncle Jimbo for giving me the opportunity to send my thanks and holiday wishes to the troops.

Other bloggers who took advantage of this great opportunity were:

Michele Malkin

Mary Katherine Hamm

Churchill’s Parrot

Some Soldier’s Mom

Baldilocks (I’ve never met her, but I knew her as soon as she came on the screen)

Army Wife Toddler Mom

USO Girls

Loopy Libertarian at Chromed Curses

Bear Creek Ledger

Love, Mom (Notes from the fridge)

Tammi’s World

That 1 Guy at Drunken Wisdom

Click these guys, thank them and support them because they aren’t ashamed to support the troops.  And check the video response to Blackfive’s video – with scenes from all my favorite movies.
