Support Our Troops!
Want to send a care package to a soldier in harm's way, but have no idea of what to send, who to send it to, or how to send it?
Sergeant Brian Horn from LaPlata, Maryland, an Army Infantry Soldier with the 173rd Airborne Brigade in the Kirkuk area of Iraq started the idea of AnySoldier to help care for his soldiers. He agreed to distribute packages that came to him with "Attn: Any Soldier" in his address to the soldiers who are not getting mail.
Brian is no longer in Iraq, but AnySoldier.US continues with your supportstarted by the parents of a soldier stationed in Iraq, provides 'wish lists' for units stationed in Iraq, Afganistan and throughout the Middle East. This is a great way to help boost our soldiers morale and show them that we appreciate their service.

Living Room Candidate
"Once considered an indignity or gimmick, campaign ads have become integral to the success of a presidential candidate. The messages --delivered in 30-second snippets--have transformed elections and been transformed in the process.
Updated for 2004, this well-designed and compelling site offers more than 250 presidential campaign TV commercials dating from 1952. Comparing Eisenhower's 1952 cute "I Like Ike" cartoon to the attack ads seen in the past few campaigns demonstrates how much the run for the White House has changed. This site is an engaging resource for anyone interested in the evolution of political theater."
