disappointed, broken hearted and need to vent

[Roscoe]

Y'know, many people may be involved in something similar. I donate to Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation. http://www.mc-lef.org/ They provide 100% of their donations for children of Marines or Federal law enforcement personnel who were killed on duty or died under extraordinary circumstances while serving our country at home or abroad.

These funds enable us to provide these children with scholarships for their higher education. When a child of a United States Marine is afflicted with a physical or mental disability and requires special medical equipment or tutoring, our Foundation may grant financial assistance to that family if their personal insurance does not cover the complete cost of treatment for this child.

Now I also am a member of a private cigar club. http://metrocigar.com. We have a dinner once per month at the club. We pass the hat and collect between 4-600 bucks from members. We buy cigars and purchase stuff at Costco like coffee, toothpaste, hand warmers, etc. We've been sending these packages for years on a monthly basis to Marines in forward combat areas.

Hanging on a wall at our club is a Marine flag signed by members of the 2nd Force Recon Company. In addition, they sent us an American flag that flew over Camp Ripper, Iraq. http://www.priveye.com/dls/marines.jpg

What I'm saying is that some of the people you are trashing may be helping in other ways.
