Spirit of America Challenge - Day Two
As of this morning, this friendly competition has raised almost $11,000 to assist our Marines in Iraq and Afghanistan. Here are the current standings:
Fighting Fusileers for Freedom - $6605
The Victory Coalition - $2977
Liberty Alliance - $ 1285
If you haven't donated yet, this is a significant opportunity for you to help our Marines win the peace in Iraq. Why? It's very personal for us. We are two Marine Corps Moms who each have a huge investment in the future of Iraq. Connie has a son currently deployed with the 3/7 Marines. Deb has a son with the 1/7 Marines who will return later this year. Both our Marines were there last year and brought home stories of how the newly freed Iraqi citizens appreciated the work of our troops. This year, there is much unrest. Humanitarian efforts, like those supported by the Spirit of America foundation will help win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi citizens who suffered under Sadaam's reign. And, it just may keep our Marines safer.
Here's the button. You know what to do.
And, don't forget the added inducement of a hand-knit summer scarf for the first 5 donations of $200 or more through any of the Fusileer links. Here's a picture of a work in progress (dog not included):
