The auction has ended and photo_guy is the lucky member who made the winning bid. He got a darn good deal and the money went for an excellent cause.

I nominate bigjim for the THR Class Act of the Year. His generosity in this is nothing short of amazing. The generosity of all THR members who gave to the family is equally heart warming.
 
OK I will bask in the glory for about 10 seconds.......... Ok that’s over.

Here is the deal. These Military guys and their families are laying it on the line. Black, white, Christian, Buddist, atheist all alike and all our brothers and sisters.

Many are hurting. Those beautiful young people are coming back missing legs
maimed and dead. Even the vast majority that escapes physical harm are forever changed by the experience.

They stand between us and the haters. Thanks to them the fight is on the other side of the world not here. Our babies are not being blown up in buses.

Nobody steals people off the street in Iowa and slices off their heads.

They do this for us. Yet some dependent family members can't afford rent. Some troops in the sand right now don't have the best gear money can buy.

This is not a situation that the loving, caring, aware and powerful members of THR can allow to go on with out action.

You have spoken and one Military wife with her man gone far away has felt the love. Do you understand the power of that? This is not words or political posturing. THIS IS REAL.

There is a young man in harms way that knows his loved ones are being watched over. What is that worth? Do all of you remember what it is like to be young and in love? WE SUPPORTED THAT!!!!!

Not only did we fight hate...... We supported love.

I challenge THR members world wide..... Find a service member or a service member’s family and be a friend. How hard is that?
