Riverdog has the details on the memorial service for Sgt. Plumondore and his compatriots. The Nation of Riflemen are grateful for his service and sacrifice. Thanks to Kim for sending an arrangement.
And I hope some more folks go over to Kim's and put a couple bucks in the fund. We're going to try and support the whole squad now, instead of just the original 2 guys.
Kim is NOT pushing this idea, but my hope is that a few more blogs link to his fund.
It's nice for folks to say they support the troops, and its nicer when they make an actual effort. Care packages and letters thru anysoldier.com are fine although they can be impersonal. With the Walter-Adams fund we at least know the names of the soldiers we are helping out, and try to send them stuff they really need. There is an emotional risk there; it hurts like hell when your guy gets killed. So we come back harder and open our hearts and wallets wider to help out his whole squad.
