The word "political" keeps coming up over and over again.
To me, political means "don't bash Bush, or current jockies" . In the beginning, Jacki and I had just mentioned to one another that we didn't want it to be one of those groups were it got really nasty. Personally, I've never seen it get like that on any board I belong to because I will leave a group that does that. I just don't have time for that. But I have gotten e-mails from a couple of people who are "friends" via the care2 system with their comments and they are what I would term "political". Personally, I'm pretty pissed off about the whole war thing, there I done said it. BUT, I will support the man in charge because he's controlling our children's strings. Once the dude's in, you gotta support him....that's a soldier's stance, and that will be mine.
I, but have to ask Jacki too, don't mind if you want to spout off about budget cuts, benefit slashes or how shoddily run something is, or about anything negatively impacting our soldiers, not a problem. Get angry every once and awhile, and if we can figure something out to fix it here, great. That was my main intent, goal at the beginning, but I felt like my anger about my brother, and his treatment was impairing my thought process, and instead, I wanted to put it to something positive, and I/we can still do that such as Timothy very much does.
So, bottom line, please feel free to utilize free speech here, we are adults, yes?
Although i will not support politions, i will support the concept of Freedom.
So, if there's any way for me to get involved in the actual USO, sharing my award-winning music and talents with this country's men and women (who are laying it on the line for us all, everyday) who also believe in Freedom, i'd definitely do that.
If anyone has any contacts for the USO, let me know. And, i'll be certain to keep everyone, here, up to date on what's transpiring with all of that.
Thanks for Joining the group and I am sure someone will have use for your many talents,We here are not politically involved but do SUPPORT all of our men/woman who are laying their lives on the line for us....Thanks friend...Joe
61 people...we be growing. Joe, and Lisa N are part of the growth and I wish to thank them so much for doing so. And I believe Lisa N has a group (shameless, but nice plug!) that is a Military members and families support group as well. Look into it! But we need you here too, as we are soo happy to have you here.
