This thanksgiving give ” thank you” meals to our severely wounded troops!

THOUSANDS OF SEVERELY BURNED BLINDED OR PARALYZED TROOPS WILL BE STRUGGLING TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE THIS THANKSGIVING!

As a patriotic American, I know Thanksgiving is the perfect time to thank our servicemen and women for the painful sacrifices they’ve made while serving our country!

your kindness is more important than ever now that the recession is taking such a heavy toll on our wounded heroes and their families. Nearly half of the spouses of our disabled troops have quit their jobs to care for them. AND thousands of spouses who were working have lost their jobs in the recession. NO wonder they’ll have trouble putting food on the table this Thanksgiving!

please send a card to a disabled GI right now. If you’ve been following the news you’re aware there’s been an increase in the number of GIs wounded in Afghanistan. So your Thanksgiving (click here) THANK YOU and GET WELL card could be the first kind words they receive while sitting in their hospital bed after returning from overseas.

click below to give:

A tax-deductible gift of $60 can help provide Thanksgiving dinner, with all the trimmings, for one severely wounded GI and his or her family, $120 can help feed two families, $180 can provide dinner for three families, and so on.

And a gift of $15, $25 or $35 can be combined with other donations to feed a family in need.

You could be helping a retired Marine like Christopher Murphy of Pennsylvania, who told us that after being injured by a roadside bomb in Iraq, paying for “rent, food and car payments will be extremely difficult.”Or maybe someone like Blair Didion Sr. a retired Army sergeant from Texas, who suffered multiple spinal fractures from a roadside bomb in Iraq, says he sometimes relies on “food from public pantries” to help feed his family.

That’s just not right!

The good news is you can let a wounded hero like Blair or Christopher know you respect and honor the painful sacrifice they’ve made by helping to provide their family with Thanksgiving meals.

Let’s face it: You and I can’t heal their physical injuries or make them whole again. (No one can.)But by helping to provide their families with Thanksgiving meals, you can thank them for the sacrifice they’ve made while protecting your family’s freedom.
