February 14, 2007 --> Great Deal of Interest
Yesterday was a bit crazy due to the MSNBC.com article about my efforts and this website. Due to client needs (I am a Windows software and web developer), I was not able to keep up with even 10% of all the email I received. I shall do my best to get back to all of you in the next few days. Note on the junk faxes: Yes these are illegal. I am working with some folks (as I am slammed with my real work at the moment) to provide this data to you as quickly as possible. Please stay tuned.

I am being interviewed tomorrow by Jim Zarroli of National Public Radio. I am not sure when the interview will be broadcast, but I shall provide appropriate times and links when such is provided to me.

I just did a radio interview on the Mike and Dave Show on 1190 KEX in Portland, Oregon. For all those who live there, I beleive it will broadcast today between 4:00 and 7:00.

Due to my linking to them on this website, I got a nice e-mail from SFC (Ret) Marty Horn, the head of AnySoldier.com. For those of you who are not aware of these folks, you need to educate yourselves. Started as a family effort to help Sergeant Brian Horn of the 173rd Airborne Brigade (508th Infantry) take care of his unit, these folks have done wonders for bringing a little bit of home to our soldiers, sailors and marines stationed overseas. I utilize a good percentage of the proceeds from my efforts against the egregious telemarketers to support our troops, and I highly suggest that you do as well. They have a facility for searching for members of the military who make requests for some pretty basic items. You get the info, go to costco and ship off a box or two via Priority Mail. Skip the movies this week and help these men and women to remember the little comforts of home. Whether you have family serving in Iraq or Afghanistan (as we do) or not, this is a more than worthy program.
