Post; MilCharity May donation


A bit late with this one, there has been a lot going on lately.

Any suggestions for the May charity donation?
(about $100)

May as well just write a check to Michael Jackson's lawyers. Organizations like the ACLU and the NAACP have become a wee bit too politicized to be valid charities in my mind, I believe that keeping the donations focused on children would be the best and least controversial way to go, Redleg.

There's always the good old fall-back of the International Red Cross, too.

I've decided to donate some of the money I make from commercials on this site, every month (about $100)

You can read a bit about it here:
http://www.military-quotes.com/forum...pic.php?p=4421

There has been two donations so far:

Everyone can suggest a new charity each month that deserves a donation.

It looks like the Make-a-Wish foundation gets $100 this month, unless there some other suggestions.. (have to act fast, the money will be donated today.. )
