How a Little Beef Jerky can make you a Hero

I've had this on my websites for quite some time, but it bears repeating here.


Let me be upfront about this. I love my family, I love my dogs, I hate beef. Haven't touched the stuff in over 25 years. No, I'm not a vegetarian, and there is a rather lengthy boring reason but suffice it to say, I just don't eat beef. That being said, I support Beef Jerky and all it stands for and here is why...

Whatever your feelings are about our involvement in Iraq, our soldiers deserve all the support they can get. Our country has an all volunteer military made up of people who make numerous sacrifices so we can all sleep safely at night. In the interest of full disclosure, along with not liking beef, I married a man who dedicated 20 years of his life to serving in the United States Air Force so I might be a bit biased.

Our soldiers overseas love beef jerky. Love it. Devour the stuff. So I have decided to use my little corner of the Internet to get the word out that our soldiers need our help. Please click any of the links below to find out how you can help a soldier by sending a care package of magazines, gum, raisins, beef jerky, and more. If you don't have the time or the resources to send a care package, how about sending an email to show your support?

Please, be a hero, take a minute today to thank a soldier. AnySoldier.com and AmericaSupportsYou.mil are great organizations. You can also check out Operation Military Care, K9 where you can find out how to make a donation to support the brave K-9 teams who are serving in a war zone.
