About Me

Support our Military and Coast Guard.

Instead of sending an "Any Wounded Soldier" letter or package to Walter Reed, please consider making a donation to one of the more than 300 nonprofit organizations dedicated to helping our troops and their families listed on the "America Supports You" website -

Other organizations that offer means of showing your support for our troops or assist wounded servicemembers and their families include:

You might even contact your local National Guard or Reserve Unit administrator (Generally in the phone book), and see if they can be of assistance.
About me: If you'd like to know about me, all you need to do is ask. ..

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

THESE SOLDIERS! I'll pick up the tab for a steak dinner of their choice.

Movies:

An American Carol - Official Trailer

Heroes:

My parents, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Winston Churchill, John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Audie Murphy, Lynn Cheney, every service member in the US Service, and many others. It is a very long list.
Here is one of my absolute favorite video's from Space. Talk about heroes. Try going on a quarter million mile trip in a car smaller than a Volkswagen Bug with no road service and even less air outside the vehicle. Then add that you're going to the Moon for the first time, with no guarantee that you'll make it home again. .. width="425" height="350">.. .. ..>
