I've begged. I've pleaded. I've asked. I've demanded (!) that you sign up for FGB, but alas, many of you have resisted my efforts. As such, I'm just going to let the sheer awesomeness of the causes that we are training for woo you. Among the many things that the Wounded Warrior Project does, they prepare backpacks filled with pajamas, tolietries, etc. for wounded soldiers who arrive stateside at medical centers with only the hospital gown on their backs. It's often the first thing that recovering soldiers mention when asked about the WWP. It’s the same with all the combat-injured troops. They’re whisked from the scene where they were wounded; their uniforms are taken at the first medical station they reach. They go one way, usually to Landstuhl; their belongings, what little they have in Iraq or Afghanistan, goes somewhere else. The troops arrive at stateside military medical centers in hospital gowns; often, they don’t even have toothbrushes. So a WWP backpack full of simple clothing and toiletries can be a big deal – a very big deal.

So come on and pitch in gang. For a little money and a lot of sweat, you could actually make a difference in someone's life.
