On this Flag Day, here's a very small way to support our wounded troops.


Wounded Warrior Project is a charitable organization devoted to supporting our severely injured Veterans when they come home. Go to Wounded Warrior Project's above link, click on the freelanthropy.com link, and you can download a very small tool bar (it's much narrower from top to bottom than the usual google or yahoo tool bar) that will allow a small, free contribution to be made to the Wounded Warrior Project for every web search that you do through the toolbar (such searches are powered by Yahoo, an outstanding search engine, and so you are basically just doing yahoo searches through this particular tool bar). I am committed to doing all of my searches through this toolbar. The contribution is only a penny a search, but if enough people latch on to this, and if many of those people do as much internet browsing and searching as me (!!!), we together can start making a difference here. You'll notice after you download the toolbar that this is a fairly new endeavor and they've only raised small peanuts so far from this search thing. But let's change that. I've noticed that Two and Half Men's Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer are now being seen on Wounded Warrior Project television ad spots (which I applaud them for), and so I'm hopeful that this and the other volunteer ways to get involved with this Project (which I'm very much interested in) are going to really start taking off going forward. Website to check out: www.woundedwarriorproject.org God bless our wounded warriors for the incalculable sacrifice which they have made for us and which they have made for everything that makes this the freest country in which to live in the history of the planet (at least in this dude's view).
