Thanks Flashback, and I remember your car with the stickers!

Thanks for the cool uh ummm...flashback, Flashback!

I’ll be back a little later to comment further on the thread

[seekthetruth]

Great, FlashBack! I did the same $99.99pk for our troops! Sure if more Freepers can join us with ANY amount of donation, our FreeRepublic team could come out on top!

I know times are tough, so we know that folks who can't donate are still right with us in praying for and supporting our troops. Hopefully the $25 package will be manageable for most Freepers. God Bless our troops!

[FlashBack]

I over did it for me at the moment, but I’ll scale back on a few other things the next few weeks.
I figure the troops have sacrficed so much...my little belt tightening is nothing.

“I figure the troops have sacrficed so much...my little belt tightening is nothing.”

I feel the same way. We can help our troops in many ways and this is one of them. I am also looking forward to going to Walter Reed while in DC to join with others to show support for our heroes and their families.

[FlashBack]

Send them our best from the rest of us!!!

[norton]

someone do us a favor and tell me how I know that FR gets credit?
From as far as I was willing to go on the order form I didn't see anything that said "check here for FR"...
seresly; help.

[Syncro]

Click on the graphics or other hotlinks and it is a unique url that they track and it is credited to FR if you donate from a link at FR

Thanks!

[norton]

thanks to you.

[seekthetruth]

It is my understanding that if you follow the link here on FR for making a donation, it is already set up that FR gets the credit for the donation. I had the same question when I made my donation. Syncro said it was set up to record for FR from our FR links. That is all I know. :)

SHOWTIME!

Our Troops Are Fighting to Protect Us
The Time is NOW to Support our Troops

It is time to prove our mettle as troop supporters and give it our all.  This is the moment when we can choose to make history and inspire the men and women of our military with our love for them.

Today from 4pm to midnight EST Melanie Morgan, Mark Williams and Andrew Breitbart will lead the web event of the year, bringing together top celebrities and troops on the ground to make our big final push to send the largest shipment of care packages to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. 

None of the celebrities will matter unless Americans like you step up and support our troops by sponsoring a care package today so we can break the record and make a strong statement in support of our troops.

Our troops count on your support at critical moments like these.

On today’s webcast, made possible by Ustream.tv, you’ll see the outpouring of support we’re experiencing from the top talkers on radio like Rush Limbaugh, major TV personalities like Greg Gutfeld, bloggers like Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey, actors like Jon Voight, authors like Walid Phares, and pro-troop leaders like Pete Hegseth. You’ll also get word from the battlefield as guests join us from Iraq and Afghanistan to give you the real stories that we don’t hear enough of and attest to the meaningfulness of a package from home.

Our lineup of guests for this landmark event is truly unparalleled.  Nowhere else can you find such a top-notch, broad and inclusive powerhouse of luminaries coming together on one day for one important cause, and that means we have a unique opportunity.
 

Our All-Star lineup will give us a shot at making history today.

So join us and be a part of this momentous event.  See all the details at Troopathon.org, watch the stream live from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library from 1pm to 9pm Pacific/4pm to midnight Eastern here, spread the word by telling a friend and please send care packages to our troops today.

Together, we can send the largest-ever shipment of goodies to our friends and neighbors serving in the military and fight America’s enemies around the world. We can do it, and they more than deserve it.
 

So help us make history and shower our troops with the largest shipment of love and care packages in history.  There are a number of different sized care packages you can sponsor - whether you want to show your support for just a couple of our troops or a full Battalion or Company

The hotlinks in the post above that go directly to the donation page will give credit to Free Republic in the Blogger Shootout Competition.
