Ok, so I probably wouldn't do this, but they are looking for extra help this year...
I've been reading a site called Ernie's House for many, many years now... He does a blog/humor site... Anyways, the reason why I started reading his site is because he is ex-Air Force and I worked for one of his former supervisors...
Well, since he has a soft spot for servicemen and women, he started an new type of charity several years ago, called Let's Bring 'Em Home... The program only runs Nov and Dec and collects money, the collected money then goes towards buying airline tickets, for service people to come home for christmas... Most of the service people have time to come home for the holidays, but can't afford it (like lower end fo the enlistment ladder)...
Each year it has gotten bigger and bigger... last year, they pulled $77,000... $74000 went for tickets (the rest went for PayPal fees, server/bandwidth fees, etc....)...
This year, there has been a larger influx of ticket requests from service personnel from overseas... Since those tickets are more expensive, they are looking for extra help this year....
So, if you have a couple of extra bucks and want to help out some hard working American servicemen and women, head over and take a look:
