The folks at ABCNews send us a link to their latest in their series of stories about veterans “Second Tour”. This time it’s about Aaron Negherbon and his organization “TroopsDirect” that was born out of an email with a friend, a Marine captain;
The email read: “Major firefight last night. Medical supplies destroyed or depleted. Resupply could take 6 weeks considering where we are relative to the supply depot. Stethoscopes, gauze, bacitracin and hydro cortisone are the big needs. Any way you can help? We’ll take anything.”
He sent the package to his friend who at the time was leading a unit with 150 marines. “I came to find out that service members were not issued these essential items,” says the 40-year-old Northern California native.That was the first time Negherbon ever sent a care package to anyone. “As patriotic as I am and was, I just never thought to do it,” he says. That email touched off a process that would lead him to reinvent himself and touch the lives of thousands of service members.
You should read the rest.

Every American should be ashamed of this administration that this is even a story.
What the flying fuck?
Where is the media reporting on critical supplies not going to troops during a war?
They were all over Bush for armor in Iraq and now nothing?
I suspect Shenanigans. This sounds fishy as hell without more information….
There is nothing fishy about it. I knew about them a couple of years ago, when there was something on Fox News (I think it was Fox) about Troops Direct. All money donated goes to cover supplies for the troops, and they send what the deployed troops request.
