May Not Solder Go Unloved
Back in 2003, self-described “ordinary mother”, Patti Patton-Bader, started an organization called Solders’ Angels because her son, Sgt. Brandon Varn, wrote her a letter from Iraq in which he showed concern that some of the brave men and women there weren’t receiving any mail or support from back home. Well, she wasn’t going to allow this. She called a few friends and family asking them if they would write to some of the soldiers. They’d never met them. Didn’t know who they were, but they wrote. And in a few short months, Solders’ Angles went from an idea an “ordinary mother” had to having chapters all over the country and thousands of angels all over the world letting soldiers know that they were loved and respected by writing hundreds of thousands of letters, sending care packages, medical supplies, body armor and lending comfort and support to military families. Solder’s Angels and the people who run and support it are heroes in the truest sense.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived

  2. That was an extraordinary act of kindness and concern from an ordinary person. It was touching! I just want to reiterate the words of Edmund Burke: The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. I salute all the soldiers who demonstrates bravery and faith.

  3. Democrats Disenfranchise Voters Again

    As if it wasn’t bad enough that the Democratic party has turned Florida into an ATM machine, they are now not only doing the same to Michigan but even worse. We’ll take your money they say but don’t expect to be able to vote for us …
