aypal for Steve Gardner (corrected)
Tony Snow has provided us the information that so many of you have been asking for in order to help Steve Gardner:
Here's the info I have from Steve. He has a paypal account through his email: sgardner5@carolina.rr.com; there's also a snail-mail address: P.O. Box 908; Clover, SC 29710.
P.S. Tony has made me a hero at home. He's coming through on the autographed photo for Mrs. Trunk.
UPDATE: We have corrected the email address above; we had originally omitted the "s" in "sgardner5@carolina.rr.com." It now reads correctly.
HINDROCKET wonders: Can Tony send three? Posted by The Big Trunk at 09:50 AM | TrackBack (8)

Bringing over to this thread a bit of the story from the earlier thread. I wrote a check to Steve today, and it will go out tomorrow. Everybody involved in trying to ruin this man should be kicked you know where.

How Kerry whistleblower suffered for truth [Swiftboat vet Steve Gardner]
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | November 29, 2004 | BY MARY LANEY

This is the story of a military veteran whistleblower. He spoke out against someone he thought was dangerous for the nation, talked to local newspapers, and appeared on talk shows. In return, he was vilified by reporters, threatened by a political operative, fired by his company, and now he's broke.
His name is Steve Gardner. He's also known as "The 10th Brother," as in Band of Brothers. He's one of two members of Sen. John Kerry's 12 Vietnam swift boat crew members who refused to stand with Kerry at the Democratic Convention. The other man remained silent. "They said I had a political agenda. I had no and have no political agenda whatsoever. I saw John Kerry on television saying he was running for the Democratic nomination for president, and I knew I couldn't ever see him as commander in chief -- not after what I saw in Vietnam, not after the lies I heard him tell about what he says he did and what he says others did."

Thank you. I gave a little bit. What a hero. I hope that together we can keep his sacrifice to a minimum here. We all owe him a debt of gratitude.
Michelle Malkin has a mention of this story on her blog now too:

Steve Gardner now on Sean Hannity.
Excellent info.
Will be contributing to Steve shortly via Paypal.
Steve will also be on Sean's tv show tonight, just mentioned it.
Thanks for all your efforts in trying to organize a way to help Steve Gardner.
I'll be sending a check to the PO address provided by Jim Robinson in post #9.
My feelings exactly. I sent him cash this morning with Pay-Pal...I may have beaten everyone to the punch. I somehow found his email address last night, and sent him one of those emails "I don't know if this is really you or not..."
and he sent me a grateful reply with his mailing address. Instead of that, I decided to try Paypal, and it sounds like it is up and running now. I hope the guy gets stinking rich, buys the company and fires the guy in charge. Ah well, we can always hope, right?
He could have lived in a comfortable obscurity like the rest of us, but decided to stand up for his country once again. If it weren't for guys like him, the rest of the Swift Boat Vets and the POW's, we might be saying "President Elect Kerry" today. I think they balanced out the mainstream media nicely, and had the added advantage of being truthful!
See, good guys DO finish first sometimes!
Yes, indeed....here's to you Mr. Robinson!
Thanks JimRob.....for your help and use of FR.
And to you, Annie for 'pings' and helping to spread the word!
I hope my modest contribution helps Steve have a Merry Christmas!
Come on fellow FReepers!!! Help the Man that gave his all in keeping the TRAITOR out of the White House!
JD
Thanks for verifying this Jim!
