Spirit of America’s fundraising activities have facilitated many good works done by U.S. servicemen and women in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Horn of Africa.
They’re now soliciting funds for a number of worthy projects, including building a women’s center in Baghdad, purchasing and distributing farming tools in Afghanistan,
outfitting a school for the deaf in northern Muthana Province, Iraq, and building desks for a school near Nasiriyah.
Spirit of America has a long track record of humanitarian accomplishments that have filled urgent needs while helping to build positive relations with the local populations in areas where U.S. forces are active. They’re a fine outfit and well worth donating to if you’re looking for ways to help people in these regions.
Another fine article by Bill Whittle at NRO. Comment thread at Bill’s site.
Bill’s back on PJTV too!
Miserable Donuts posts General Petraeus’ farewell letter to his staff and troops, as he moves up to CENTCOM and leaves General Ray Odierno in command of Multi-National Force Iraq. Well worth the read.
Hat tip: Instapundit. And hats off to General Petraeus.
Quoth the Instapundit:
WITH VIOLENCE, AND AN IRRETRIEVABLY CORRUPT POLITICAL LEADERSHIP, I think we should just pull out of Chicago: “Nearly 125 Shot Dead In Chicago Over Summer. Total Is About Double The Death Toll In Iraq.”
Certainly seems to put things into perspective.

…or so it seems, when it comes to Iraq.

Two years ago, [leading Democrats] were arguing that we should leave Iraq because the war was lost; now they are saying we should leave Iraq because the war is won.”
The more things change…
