HAPPY VETERANS DAY 2010

DEAR SUSIE,

I'VE NEVER WRITTEN A NOTE QUITE LIKE THIS BEFORE. BUT YOU ARE SUCH A DEAR FRIEND TO OUR PARALYZED VETERANS ACROSS AMERICA, I KNEW YOU'D UNDERSTAND.

IN A FEW SHORT WEEKS, VETERANS DAY WILL AGAIN BE UPON US. I REMEMBER A TIME NOT TOO LONG AGO WHEN IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DAYS ALL YEAR TO MOST AMERICANS.   DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS LIKE?   BUT NOWADAYS?  WELL, IT'S NOT THE SAME, IS IT?  AND THAT HURTS, ESPECIALLY TO OUR PARALYZED VETERANS.

I MEAN, THIS VETERANS DAY ,WHILE WE ALL ENJOY OUR FREEDOM AS AMERICANS, MANY  BRAVE AND COURAGEOUS VETERANS WILL LIE IN BEDS IN VA MEDICAL CENTERS WONDERING, "DOES ANYONE STILL REMEMBER ME? DOES ANYONE STILL CARE?" IT HURTS A LOT.

THAT'S WHY I'M WRITING, TO YOU TODAY TO ASK A VERY SPECIAL FAVOR. FIRST, WOULD YOU PLEASE SIGN AND RETURN THE VETERANS DAY CARD I'VE ENCLOSED - I'LL SEE THAT IT GETS TO A PARALYZED VET IN AV A MEDICAL CENTER. IT'S CRUCIAL THAT GREAT FRIENDS LIKE YOU TELL OUR PARALYZED VETERANS HOW MUCH THEY ARE APPRECIATED! PLEASE! AND SECOND, COULD YOU SEND A GIFT TODAY TO HELP THESE GRAVE VETERANS?

YOU SEE, ON NOVEMBER 11th., I'LL BE AT ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY WITH VETERAN LEADERS FROM ACROSS AMERICA. EACH YEAR, WHEN ALL IS QUIET, A VETERAN WILL ASK ME:  "HOMER, THE GUYS BACK IN THE MEDICAL CENTER WANTED TO KNOW IF PEOPLE ARE STILL SHOWING THEY CARE. WHAT CAN I TELL THESE GUYS?" IT WOULD MEAN 50 MUCH TO AMERICA'S PARALYZED VETERANS IF I COULD TELL THEM, "DON'T WORRY. PEOPLE LIKE SUSIE HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN... AND NEVER WILL."
NOW CAN YOU SEE WHY THIS NOTE IS S0 IMPORTANT? OUR VETERANS REALLY NEED TO HEAR AND KNOW YOU STILL CARE.

PLEASE STAND UP AND BE COUNTED TODAY. YOUR GIFT WILL MEAN MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW.

SINCERELY,

HOMER S. TOWNSEND, JR.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (AND PARALYZED VET)

SEND A CARD OR LETTER  WITH A GIFT AS LITTLE AS $5.00
