Every Day...

...Is Memorial Day in War Time

Remember the fallen. Honor them by taking care of those who fight on in the battlefields or back home.

As part of my continued support of the concept of "Don't do nothing"... another avenue of support brought to my attention this week: donating old cell phones. Doesn't matter what kind or how out of date. They get recycled and the money gets used for phone cards for troops to call home and stay in touch with their families where a phone call can mean everything in the world to them. We have a local drop off for this program here in town, and worth checking out if you have old phones stuffed in a drawer somewhere.

The local drop off point is:

Liberty Tax Service
1403 E Washington
Urbana, IL 61802

For more information see the link above or here. As usual I'd like to plug for the local Toys For Troops organization here as well as the USO and AnySoldier and generally for any organization to help support our troops overseas, their families, and veterans needs.

I can think of few better ways to honor the fallen than to take care of those still in the fight, those that survived the fight, and their families.
