Rolling Eyes Please be very careful posting this site BFS.

There is continuting questions as to their "link" to m moore & many anti-war groups. It appears that they're harvesting soldier's info for their mailings!!!

Please note that BFS has their link on numerous leftist sites saying
"support the troops even though we don't support the war" - typical montra. I believe that IVAW also has their link on their site.

Arrow the founder of BFS is a buddy of Moore. Much is questionable, so please send the troops to more repudable support groups.

what are some reputable sites? I would like to donate items but certainly don't want to support the bloviating blowhole Moore!

Very Happy There are quite a few support groups-you could start here if you'd like...

http://operationac.com/

{this is where I've "adopted" our guys. Their info is private, however, they're in need of boots so it's requested that you take care of this request. If that's not for you, start on the next two.

http://www.adoptaplatoon.org
http://soldiersangels.com/

If you {or anyone out there who like's putting pen to paper Wink }
would be open to a suggestion.........

take the names off of BFS from the "birthday section" &/or other forums and write/send cards to all you can. We've received the most heartwarming letters & cards from these guys/gals who are very appreciative of SUPPORT letters. I send cartoons and humorous odds and ends to help put a smile on their faces. Our hope is that we might be able to deflect some of the garbage sh*t that they've been receiving. I do NOT post on that site. However, I do know who some of the little activist twits are and I try to grab the names of the soldiers that they're contacting and send my own mail to them. Too many to keep up with Crying or Very sad

Hope this helps kick start your positive support of the best troops in the world. They're sacrificing while having to put up with J Fn K's insults and support of the enemy. They need all the heart we can give to them!

Thank you so much for the heads up on them!! I had no idea and I like to think I check out these things, fooled me I have had them prominatly on my sites header pages, for months.. editing them out now. Please list any other questionable sites to help webmasters that add sites such as that to add awareness for people to support the troops.
