US House Passes Deployed Troop Support Act (H.R. 1756)

Support the Deployed Troops Support Act (H.R. 1756)

You can help our deployed troops with no cost to you or other taxpayers.  This bill allows empty space on military transports be utilized to deliver to our troops goods supplied by non-profit organizations.  The military is already authorized to use empty space to deliver goods from non profits to foreign nationals overseas.  This bill passed the House with bipartisan support and is under consideration by the Senate.  Contact your Senators and urge them to make sure this bill passes.
Locals Kim & Garren Cone of AVET Project, Inc. have been instrumental in getting this great idea before our legislators.
This is a chance to give something back to our troops and it only takes a minute – call or email:
Bill Nelson: 407-872-7161 / 888-671-4091

Always Remember and Honor, says Rhoden, Brevard County Public Defender Candidate 2012

May 28, 2012 by

“Thank you to all the military personnel past, presently active, and those that are enlisting.  Your service to our country is honorable and appreciated.  God bless you as you look back and remember, as you walk in your service, and as you anticipate serving in the future. ” Ken Rhoden, May 28, 2012

This morning Ken posted the below comment on Facebook and wanted to share it with you, here on the website as well:

“I cannot say it better than President Lincoln”,
“…that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion…
We honor the dead by preserving the freedom they died to give us.”

Wikipedia does a good job summarizing this special holiday:  “Memorial Day is a federal holiday observed annually in the United States on the last Monday of May.[1] Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.[2] Formerly known as Decoration Day, it originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union soldiers who died in the Civil War. By the 20th century Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died in all wars. It typically marks the start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end.”
