When our Heroes go without

To piggyback a little with CJ’s earlier post I wanted to highlight an organization that deserves some attention called Troops Direct.

They are a non-profit organization that helps out our troops in Afghanistan and other areas where our troops our on the front lines by supplying them with essentials that are either overlooked or in short supply:

  • When our servicemembers were drinking impure well water pumped out of the ground in 130 degree heat, TroopsDirect shipped over 50,000 units of hydrating drink powder.
  • When medics in a combat zone were waiting over 4 weeks for additional stretchers, stethoscopes, syringes and gauze from their own military supply lines, TroopsDirect filled their request for help in less than 3 hours.
  • When several units had no protein in their diets and were eating less than one meal a day, TroopsDirect was there with over 5 tons of nutritional supplements, energy bars and protein powder.
  • When one battalion was resorting to using bottle caps to mark where land mines were emplaced, TroopsDirect was there with over 50 cases of chalk powder for marking these areas and saving American lives.
  • When our troops were going over a month without bathing or brushing their teeth, TroopsDirect was there with over 10,000 packets of body wash & 2000 tubes of toothpaste.
  • When one unit was waiting over 12 months for parts to fix a broken down generator, TroopsDirect acquired and shipped the needed parts. IN 72 HOURS.
  • When an elite team was deploying from the U.S. to a critical ‘hot spot’, TroopsDirect got them all the requested items that were unavailable to them here in the States. OVERNIGHT.
  • When an infantry unit of 150 servicemembers was without gloves and replacement socks in the dead of winter, TroopsDirect shipped a full resupply of these items.

Actually tomorrow. Not tonight. They will be the first guest on the show at about 8:45 EST at http://www.toptalkusa.com. We have a live chat room and call-in number if you want to ask questions too.

I’m a little confused. The military has billions of dollars of supplies and parts in storage. In every war movie there is a supply sergeant, and supply chain to get the stuff to the supply sergeant, who then gets it to wherever needed.

I’m guessing that since obama hates the military, he (or his puppeteers) is doing everything he can to hinder the military in a way that it won’t look like he is actually trying to hinder them. Remember when he wanted them to pay for their own medical insurance? Maybe he even wants them to pay their own way to wherever they are deployed.

HOW DARE OBAMA DOES HIT THE MILITARY,
HE MUST BE REMOVE , BY FORCE IF NECESSARY, BY THE SAME MILITARY, CLOSE THE WHITE HOUSE ALL TOGETHER,
HE HURT TO PLEASE THE ENEMY HIS FRIEND,
CAN’T ANYONE SEE IT? CAN’T ANYONE TAKE HIM OUT?
AND PUT HIM IN A PLACE WHERE HE WON’T HURT ANYMORE ,
CURT HOW ABOUT THE SHERIFS GET TOGETHER AND ARREST HIM FOR RELEASING
MANY THOUSANDS OF
DANGEROUS CRIMINALS TO DISAPPEAR WITHIN THE CITIZENS,
IS IN IT BETTER TO DO THAT ,THAN TO HAVE THE CITIZENS BEGIN THEIR REVOLT, THEY HAVE ENOUGH OF HIM,
IT WOULD BE TO LATE BY THEN, AND SOME WOULD DIE,
BUT NOT THE GUILTY ONE,
IT’S BREWING NOW,

hi,
you use to have a paypal place, it’s gone,
it was easy to give on those good cause we would like to,
all we have to do is click,
I hate to distribute my info on many different address,

Yes Obama is doing everything possible to harm the military. Just received an email stating that all VA education benefits will cease. So veterans who served the country and then are using the education benefits they earned are having them removed….but somehow the sequester doesn’t stop federal dollars fron being used to pay for illegal aliens to get health care or education benefits.

Obama is a traitor.

Babydoc
yes it’s too obvious
sorry for the vets being used in his nefarious agenda,
and yes the one who fight abroad also are abused until they fall,
he want to exterminate the AMERICAN RACE ,
AND CHANGE AMERICA FOR THE GLOBAL UN ORGANIZATION,
WAS IT DONE ALREADY BY THE MILITARY OBEYING THE UN GLOBAL FORCES,
THE AMERICANS COMMANDOS ARE IN 75 COUNTRIES, OPERATING AS A SHADOW FORCES,
WE WILL NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY ARE BEING KILLED

….but somehow the sequester doesn’t stop federal dollars fron being used to pay for illegal aliens to get health care or education benefits.

Most illegals vote for obama. Most military don’t. Do the math.

This is a travesty. Shows how Government works and how the ‘private’ sector works so MUCH BETTER than the Government on ANY LEVEL…Why can’t people SEE THIS???

OFraud and his minions are such a sham…and so pathetic….they all disgust me…. and so does MaCain- Ugh!!

A little side track:
On a bright note I was scanning some Jobs on the internet and saw this from Kelly Services a temp to hire firm….

“Employment for transitioning military, veterans and military spouses. Kelly knows that Military Members and their families bring a strong sense of integrity and duty to their post-military careers. You’ve demonstrated your commitment by your time served, solid character and high-level professional skills. It’s time to put the experience you’ve acquired to work for you—partner with a leader to land the career you want, and deserve.”

Was glad to see this. I read every now and again how hard it is for some of our honorable Military men and women to transition into the working sector after being in the military….nice to know, and hope, the above is as heartfelt as the advertisement sounds …there are companies out there with welcoming arms for our Armed Services heroes…

YES BEAUTIFUL INFO,
EVERY BIT OF INFO POSITIVE IS SO GOOD TO HEAR IN THESE SO NEGATIVES TIMES,
FOR AMERICA,
BEST TO YOU

A lot of people see what they want to see, and a lot of people want to see more free stuff, and obama is willing to oblige.

As for former military seeking jobs, it used to be that they got priority in government jobs. I’m going to guess that if we check into it, there isn’t much military hiring in obama’s government. I hope I’m wrong. That would be something for Fox News or other conservative news media to check out.

After I wrote the above, I sent an email to our local Fox News station and asked them that question. I will have to wait and see if they will answer it.

@Bees @11- Thanks Bees!! Thanks too for all your support and on target comments too. You have a good heart…It’s not easy these days to be positive…somehow you’ve got to though. It seems I fade in and out of being negative and then positive…

I read a lot and read what other people have to say about the issues and I still can’t comprehend how Ofraud got re-elected? In retrospect I am not sure if Mitt would have been any better…I am sure he would have been better when it came to Jobs and the Economy here….

Funny I don’t hear much from the Ofraud on the Jobs problem here…and its as though there are those here who are not all that concerned about it either…???

Take care Bees 🙂

Smorgasborg@#12 – The way the Ofraud treats our Military with such contempt? Its appalling!! I was just reading about Colorado and the Illegals vs our Military when it comes to assistance with a College education…. Illegals rank higher wha huh???? If this is not contempt…what is?!? It is so frustrating to read this kind of stuff…

Great question for Fox…I will be looking for a post when you get an answer…

Regarding the ‘free stuff’… well, I am thinking the gravy boat is drying up…Its a dirty way to drum up votes … and believe me I am mighty sure the Middle Class in this country is getting fully fed up with the bullshit this country is dishing out on the Middle Class backs…the 60/40 rule is becoming quite an unfair burden as well…

@FAITH7: #14

The way the Ofraud treats our Military with such contempt? Its appalling!!

If we saw obama’s list of priorities, I’m sure the military will be towards the bottom, if not the bottom. Being crowned king is his first. If he is going to turn the USA into a non-free style of government, the military will be his worst enemy.

Great question for Fox…I will be looking for a post when you get an answer…

I suggest you ask all of your local media that simple question. As I have mentioned, I asked that question of many of the propaganda media, and none have answered. I would like to know if you even get an answer from any of the propaganda media. I didn’t ask it of any Fox News stations, because Fox News calls the USA the republic that it is.

HAPPY EASTER to all,
hello, hello, anybody here?
are all stuffing your belly with EASTER eggs,
your mouth is full and your fingers are chocolatey,
get back in here at once,
it’s an order.

A NAVY-SEAL fell to his death, do you think you are undestructible?
are you pushing the envelope too much,
you are our hero but we want you all alive,
I’m reading that book from LT. COL. ANTHONY SHAFFER,
OPERATION DARK HEART,
it’s very good, and yes I saw the push a few notchs past the life span possibility,
take care you all because we care for you.

WHEN is THE DEPARTMENT of DEFENSE will give PURPLE HEART
TO FORTH HOOD BRAVE?????????????????????
shame on you for not having done it already,
you had a terrorist, you are responsible for enroll this terrorist to join the braves,
you deserve to lose your job,
how dare you now deny the PURPLE HEART, is it OBAMA who again is protecting the terrorist
to be label as he is, that is a TERRORIST, those who died because of you hired a TERRORIST,
make me think that you have been infiltrated by other TERRORISTS, and you lack the guts to expose it,
shame on you at the DEPARTEMENT of DEFENSE,
we will remind you on and on how cowards you are,
we’re not done with you, the more you wait, the more despicable you are,
there are braves who where killed in there, and those who survived
want and deserved the PURPLE HEART,
it’s time to give it to them,
and you better screen your new applications, no MUSLIMS to mix with the BRAVES, you forgot there is a WAR, the braves are dying to keep you there sitting on your buts,while they are being attack from all fronts
you got your hands full with the GAYS

you know,
NORTH KOREA could take front row to cover IRAN
while IRAN is putting the finishing touch to their NUKE PLAN,
that seems to be the reason why KOREA is acting up.
to make us AN APRIL FOOL

WOW, that young student having been harass for saying he is CONSERVATIVE,
and it went on and on the teacher lied to him about not having a fair pay, the student looked up
her pay and told her she made a hundred thousand ,
she did not like the student go to the head in charge and kept on her harassment,
MEYGAN told him if it happen she will come with names on the school and teacher,
we did mention it here on another POST how vicious some of them, too many of them on the propaganda
curiculum teaching the students,
this young man has the guts which will make him a fearless leader someday later,
AMERICA need them for the debriefing of the young already indoctrinated by the one they trusted their corrupt teachers who where indoctrinated to teach those lies, to the student so to follow the nefarious agenda of the socialist communist in chief, shame on those teachers,
you won’t get them all AMERICANS there are still the real one untouch by the propaganda,
may GOD bless you and AMERICA and protect you now and in your future,

A LIIBERAL defending the murderers employed to teach the young
they are known extremist and friend of OBAMA,
COLUMBIA is where OBAMA study,
those extremist felons who have murdered,
should never be teachers of the young or any age,
there are other felons who never killed any one,
and never hurt anyone, who would be more suited in teaching
the young what not to do, instead of SOCIALIST COMMUNIST
WHICH NEVER WILL WORK IN AMERICA,
and only bring an uprising to fight it.
THIS IS AMERICA, AND DON”T ANYONE EVER FORGET IT
this land is not RUSSIA, NOT MIDDLE EAST, NOT CHINA,
it’s call freedom forever for the PEOPLE,
BY THE PEOPLE
THE GOVERNMENT WORK FOR THE PEOPLE,
NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND,
I love BEN CARSON, what a great gifted TRUE AMERICAN

CURT
TROOPS DIRECT
you’re in our book now,
best to you all.
