I’m hoping to do this every Friday with links to good causes and things that I’ve collected during the week. [This section is now redefined as a section for poems and sentimental items]
First, this post from jcrue. His best friend’s son was recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and they’re doing a fundraiser. Please go to his post.
Next is send support to a mother who has a son who was just injured in Iraq. This is from John Bambeneck. Here is her blog.
The last is an unfortunate article that I’d like you all to be aware of. It’s from CNS (Cybercast News Service) Senior Staff Writer, Marc Morano, and it’s entitled, Anti-War Protests Target Wounded at Army Hospital. Here is an excerpt:
Washington (CNSNews.com) — The Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., the current home of hundreds of wounded veterans from the war in Iraq, has been the target of weekly anti-war demonstrations since March. The protesters hold signs that read “Maimed for Lies” and “Enlist here and die for Halliburton.”
The anti-war demonstrators, who obtain their protest permits from the Washington, D.C., police department, position themselves directly in front of the main entrance to the Army Medical Center, which is located in northwest D.C., about five miles from the White House. Among the props used by the protesters are mock caskets, lined up on the sidewalk to represent the death toll in Iraq.
Code Pink Women for Peace, one of the groups backing anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan’s vigil outside President Bush’s ranch in Crawford Texas, organizes the protests at Walter Reed as well.
