Asymmetric Military

I interrupt my blogging vacation (I'll be back tomorrow or Friday) for this important announcement. One of my first blogging buddies, Flag Gazer, wants us to help Susan Porcello win the AMW All Star contest. I don't know anything about Ms. Porcello except what's on the web page, but if Gazing says she's OK, that's good enough for me. I generally think that we should honor this kind of sacrifice than, say, not working for a corporation to organize a community (to shake down the corporation that you didn't work for). You can vote for her here.

I received the following email:

The site just went up, honoring everyone in the US military all around the
world. Dog tags are sold on it, of which 15% of all proceeds goes to charity
(Soldier's Angels) which helps injured soldiers or families of those that
lost their lives in the military. The tags could be personalized with either
your name or someone you know in the military and would make great gifts
with great respect. I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm hoping you can
perhaps add a link or make a minor mention somewhere in your blog about my
friend's site. I think it's a great idea and trying to help where I can.

Of course! No problem. This site is new, but I'm familiar with Soldier's Angels and they're legit, last I heard.

Link here.

A Fisher Home is a place where injured soldiers' families stay while the soldier is being treated for their injuries. I had the privilege of working with one during my stint at Walter Reed. I know that Denzel Washington helped build one in Texas as well. Anyways, thanks to Flag Gazer for the tip.
