you go to this
web site,
you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print
it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently
serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it
will go to a member of the armed services. |

The
Animal Rescue Site is having
trouble getting enough people to click on it daily so
they can meet their quota of getting FREE FOOD donated
every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes
less than a minute (about 15 seconds) to go to their
site and click on the purple box 'fund food for animals
for free'. This doesn't cost you a thing. Their
corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily
visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in
exchange for advertising. Here's the
web site!
