Dear friends,
Elizabeth and I were shocked to learn that an alarming number of wounded U.S. soldiers are not necessarily receiving adequate treatment at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, one of the country’s most prestigious hospitals for our armed forces. Many of these brave people have been severely injured and their lives forever changed. It’s horrible to contemplate that they are not getting the class-A care that they truly need and deserve.
Instead of waiting for and hoping that the government will remedy the situation, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to do what we can now. The hospital needs several items for their patients—and we sincerely hope that you will join us in giving back to the men and women who have given so much for our country. Some of the things they need include:
Luggage
Electric Razors
Portable DVD Players
iPod’s
Men’s & Women’s Summer Clothing (dress shorts & shirts)
Hair Trimmers
Sports Bras
Ankle Socks
Casual Polo-type ShirtsGift Cards:
Walmart
Target
Macy’s
JCPenney
Grocery cards
Gas cards
Pre-paid Visa gift certificatesYou can send your items to:
Maurice McDaniel
Soldier Family Assistance Center

And the reasons don’t stop at 101. Kirk could kick Picard’s A$$!
Truered – did you see this from last week?

I had not seen that. It was late and I didn’t peruse too much. I’d add one more – the scream of “KAHN” in STII. That was the best!
Plus, in 10 years when they’re making the movie at the end of the Gore administration, Shatner can star as the President who cleaned up W’s mess.
