It's a good day for the number 5. Not only is it an important date for Hispanics (Cinco de Mayo), but today's issue is also the 500th posting here at the blog!
My wife would like me to remind you that May is Military Appreciation Month. (Our niece served two tours of duty in Iraq.)
Websites:
A Million Thanks.
Donate a phone card, care package, or gift card through the USO.
The official Department of Defense support page.
You could also stop by Karen Gulino's website. Karen would drive by an air yard everyday where $26 million military aircraft were being scrapped. She eventually began to buy scrap metal from old fighters and bombers, creating dog tags in support of peace. A portion of each one sold goes to support Fisher House, which provides housing for families of wounded soldiers while they receive treatment.

An inexperienced Army medic was stationed at a remote base in the South Pacific. One day he was puzzled about the treatment for one of his patients, so he radioed the mainland.
"I have a case of beriberi. What shall I do?"
The doctor on call was in a glib mood and radioed back, "Give it to the Marines. They'll drink anything."
