Default IRAQ TROOP SUPPORT

Hey guys - for any of you who would like to help out our troops, I have something for you. My son has been in Iraq with the National Guard since June, 2005. He is in charge of communications and networking systems at the base. The calling cards they have do not work at this base, so they are purchasing a satellite system to enable them to stay in touch with loved ones at home. If you would like to help with a donation to this worthy cause, send your tax dedectible donation to PC Evolution Satellite Fund, c/o Sam Scardino, 109 Leslie Lane, Souderton, Pa 18964 Any questions, 215-723-1600. Thanks for your support!!!!!!!

This is a very touchy subject for many people including myself... Seeing the nation's youth at war must be hard especially for a parent like you Sam. I see donations as an essential way to raise support and awareness.

Expect to see my donation soon Sam!

Definitely a worthy cause, I hear that the troops like nothing better than to hear from home.

Think about being separated from your wife / husband and kids for six months at a time! It's terrifically hard on everyone, but our troops are doing it voluntarily to protect our country.

You can expect a check in the mail from the Besser family!

Sam, there are many opinions about the war and what it means to America. People may not agree on our involvement and that is their right as Americans. Agree or not, the young men and women serving our nation deserve everyone's support, 110%..Karen and I will be happy to contribute and may your son and all those who serve return home safely.

Because of this site and because of some very generous people on this site our sons request for funds for a communications satellite in Iraq has been met! Now these soldiers will be able to get and keep intouch with their families and loved ones. Calling cards were not working. It is truly a great country and what makes it great is the people who fill it. I am impressed with what our members did for Katrina's victims and equally impressed with what some are doing for our troops in Iraq. God bless this Site and its people that make it up! Thanks, Sam and Vera Scardino
