Reader Andy in San Diego answers my request for info on how to help service members' families with this link:
[Talk show host] Roger Hedgecock (here in San Diego), is helping to
promote Operation Homefront, which is getting needed
stuff to the families of our military.
Granted, it's limited to the San Diego area (and Camp
Pendleton), but since we have some extremely large
bases here (Miramar Marine Air Station, Naval Base San
Diego (also called "32nd Street"), Naval Air Station
North Island, Naval Amphibious Base Coronado (home of
the SEALs on the west coast), Camp Pendleton...and
probably a couple minor ones I'm forgetting), Op
Homefront is covering a lot of people.
San Diegans can help by volunteering services, from car repair to tax accounting, while others can contribute money. Having just been in San Diego, I can say you really feel the presence of the war there. |
