BlogWorld & New Media Expo 2008 - Support the Veterans and Soldiers

I just got back from BlogWorld in Las Vegas and I met more interesting and fabulous people than I can count here. Special shout-outs to @jodiontheweb, @ebillme, @britneymason, @chrisbrogan and @franpro.

What's relevant to this blog, however, is the connection I made at the Military.com booth exhibit. I met a really wonderful lady who introduced me to Soldier's Angels, a non-profit and believe it or not, non-partisan group that "adopts" soldiers overseas by sending them postcards once a week and care packages once a month. As you may have guessed, I am not a fan of the war, nor am I a fan of the administration that has placed so many disadvantaged young men and women overseas, but I am in the corner of our soldiers and veterans for obvious reasons.

If you can't commit to a five-time monthly correspondence, consider one of the other projects the Soldier's Angels have going on, including planting trees, creating gift baskets for families of those deployed and more.

Hate the war, not the soldiers.
