supporting the troops on air

This morning I listened mainly to Allman and Smash in the Morning on 97.1 FM Talk.

This is a local show that's mainly politically conservative, as 97.1 is, though mostly through nationally syndicated talk show hosts such as Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham.

Anyway, today Jamie Allman and Smash were at the USO at Lambert Airport, since many service men and women and passing through the airport on the way home or someplace else for Christmas. They were doing a fundraiser for this great organization that is doing what they can to help the people protecting our country.

I support this and encourage anybody to donate money to the USO, since it receives no government funding. Also, while I listened, a woman came on from a group whose name I didn't catch, but it's Missouri military mothers raising money and sending packages to the troops. So it's great somebody is doing that.

Also, Jamie mentioned an organization Adopt a Platoon which gives you a chance to send things to troops overseas.
