My prayers and my contributions go mainly to two organizations that care for our armed forces personnel that give so much in the service of our country.
In the past I concentrated on Oliver North's Freedom Alliance because virtually all monies go to the charity to give scholarship money to the children of fallen warriors with all operating expenses either paid by North or donated.
I now have been getting active in the Hope For Warriors Fund which recently was the recipient of the quest to break the Guinness Record for the longest golf cart parade here in The Villages. We failed in breaking the record, but not in raising money for, and the morale of, our wounded warriors.
