Supporting The Troops.

Whether you're pro or anti, Project Valour-IT provides a way to show your support for the actual troops doing the fighting and dying in Iraq and around the world, without any endorsement or refutation of the policy that places them there. Seawitch has a post of the history of the Project and a link to a story in the Washington Post.

Please read it. And if you are so moved, please visit the site and make a donation.

Thanks.

I am an award-winning journalist and columnist with a project, Ruminations on America. I have called for essays from coast to coast on the subject of true core American values and the current state of the union. You are cordially invited to participate, or to check out what others, including John Ventimiglia of the HBO show The Sopranos, a Catholic nun in prison for civil disobedience, and others, have to say. Today's entry is a conversation between a Vietnam veteran who opposes the war in Iraq and a soldier who is presently in Iraq.

This is an experiment in democracy and free speech. Each entry must be less than 1000 words, accompanied by a photograph that conveys a sense of who you are and a brief introduction to your life.
