If you want to do some good and help someone out, help this kid:
Operation Amina The kid is a 3-year-old Iraqi who needs heart surgery; the Marine I know (who's recently promoted to Lieutenant Commander) is related (by marriage) to one of the elders of the church. He's a trustworthy dude and has the Official Marie Stamp of Approval.
To be honest, I wouldn't get the word out there unless I personally know who's behind it (For those that know me offline, y'all know how I am with this sort of stuffage.).
Considering that all you hear is bad news coming out of Iraq, let's get some good news for a change.
(I normally do friends' only, but I'm opening this to everyone; it's important to me that everyone sees this.)
