You can honor us (current active duty volunteers) by not getting all Toby Keith when you remember 9/11. Our enemies are motivated by the same kind of BS that I hear in those \”patriotic\” country songs. Or you could bring this up: We already had the Department of Defense, why would we need a department for \”Homeland Security\”? What else would we be defending besides our homeland? Lobby for using the DOD for actually defending our country instead of \”nation-building\”.

On a separate note, you could hook us up by having an all active duty military MMA event when you get your new venture up and running. That would be considerable morale boost.

I think your a great American for everything you do to point out the evil that this war has unleashed and that we need to get out of Iraq and never go to Iran. Your support for Loose Change proved to me that your a diferent kind of Billionaire and I greatly admire you for having the patience and bravery to deal with monsters like Bill O\’Rielly and those little minded people who support the spread of war in the world to satisfy their misguided ambitions. Call me lets do lunch!

First of all, a big THANK YOU to all of all of troops, and to our veterans! I personally will always remember every day what you are doing and have done, and will never take my freedom for granted.

I recently asked the same question, \"What can I do to honor and serve those who are serving our country?\"

I just finished reading the previous 20 comments, and to me the most relevant ones are from those that are currently serving, and those that have served. Number #1, recognize, acknowledge, thank, and appreciate their sacrifices. Number #2, work to help foster new programs and identify the most relevant current programs. Number #3, educate and enlist the help and support of others to further these causes. Our freedom is because of you.

God Bless you all!

I strongly agree with the notion that we should take nothing for granted. I had the pleasure and opportunity to grow up in a Less Developed Country, and I am thankful everyday for all of the lessons I was taught.

One of the problems with this country\'s youth today is that everything is taken for granted. More often than not, kid\'s don\'t feel accountable for their own actions, and seek their parents to figure out the problem. Totalled car? Mom, need new car. Not enough clothes in the 2 closets? Need new stuff.

There was a TV show a few months ago in which they would place a family from the US with a local family in an LDC for a week. What better way to be thankful for what privileges you have?

Cheers

Money help is a good thing (not putting that down)! But the important thing is to really be there for your vet friends when they return. If they don\’t want to talk about the experience, don\’t push it. But if they do, then take a few moments to listen
I had the experience of people not wanting to listen about what happened there, and feeling shut out.
Remember,civilian, and military life are two completely different worlds. Relating one to the other and adjusting to a return from one to the other can be most difficult!!!
The main thing is to be there for the vet like the vet was there for you!!! Todd

Mark, I live at Robson Ranch in Denton. We have a Support Our troops organization that uses 100% of our collected donations to support our troops. We have a silent action in November where we collect the bulk of our donations. We are a non-profit that does not engage in politics. We make shipments every month to deployed troops, meet the returning men and women from the Middle East, and much more. You can visit our website at http://www.supportourtroopstexas.com to see all we do.
We have lots of Maverick fans at Robson Ranch (we have 135 members of SOT). It would be wonderful if you could donate a signed basketball, jersey, or whatever you think would be appropriate to our aution. The money we collect is for the young men and women that serve and protect us. Thanks
