    Passing this on as I know the wife, she was a friend of my sister growing up. Nobody who has served their country should be put in such a position.

    If I could I'd give, I just can't at this point. However, I've shared the site on my facebook page.

    I'm willing to make a donation - but let me ask (and others can answer), is there a limit? As in I may only be able to do $15-20, is that ok? I see 2 others did $500 and $200. Can't afford nothing like that!! But I'm always willing to give a little something to our soldiers and/or their families, if it'll help in some way.

    Yikes, I made a donation and my full name then appeared up on the screen! LOL Luckily, I sent a message along and she was available and was immediately able to remove the name.

    I saw it had my full name, but did it have my email there too? Damn, I get enough from the damn attorneys already! So now you know my full identity? Be gentle, woman!! There are trolls out there that would pay top dollar for that information!

    I have the jim "nyc" in there but never lived in the city. Now, if you take out the asterisks, there IS also a "New City" about 20 minutes from me, but never lived there either! But the "Jim" part is true, at least I think so.

    Yeah, for those things you have to click the 'anonymous' box for your name not to show. Thanks to all that help out a service member.
