Thank A Soldier Week: GayPatriot Raises $4,000 for Soldiers’ Angels

by

I am proud to announce that GP Reader “Tim” and I will both be donating $2,000 each to the Soliders’ Angels charity. Tim generously agreed to match my “vote total” dollar-for-dollar when I first announced the fundraising effort as part of the Weblog Awards contest.

Although the total votes was less than 2,000 (partly because of throwing our support to BratBoySchool), Tim and I agreed yesterday that we will both donate the full $2,000.

I actually tried last week (via PayPal) to donate my half of the $4,000, but it wasn’t working. So I’m going to write a check tonight and mail it. I will scan a copy of the check for anyone who doubts my word.

I also would ask all of you to consider donating to Soldiers’ Angels this Christmas season. They are a great organization that brings a bit of home to our soldiers’ serving overseas.

Finally, a reminder that this is “Thank A Soldier Week.” Just do three simple things…..

Say “Thank You” to at least one member of the Armed Forces as you pass them on the street.

Send an email to a soldier serving overseas, separated from loved ones during the holiday season. Use our simple form – click here.

Make a donation to one of the many charitable organizations providing comfort to the troops and their families at home.

God Bless Our Troops!

  7. I am a Soldiers’ Angel from the Northwest and the mother of two Army soldiers (my 24 year old son & 22 year old daughter). Our family became aware of the Soldiers’ Angel organizations last January when my son was badly injured in Iraq.

    While laying on a strecher in the cold in Germany, waiting to be loaded onto a plan that would bring him back to the states for care, he was cold and wishing he had a pillow and blanket. All of a sudden a woman appeared calling his name, gave him a pillow, a quilt, and a backpack with item he would need. Then she was gone.

    We discovered later she was a Soldiers’ Angel and we began to meet many more. All ready and willing to help! Soldiers’ Angels and Fisher House were ture blessing to our family!

    Thank you so much for supporting the Soldiers’ Angel organization!! Your donations will touch many, many lives in ways you can never imagine!

  18. Thank you both for your generous contribution. You are helping make many of our brave men and women who are serving our great country feel loved and appreciated. Honorary Angel’s wings to you both!!!!
