\nWhat, already?<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s time to shamelessly rattle the cup, and I’m your huckleberry. I recall Jonn’s reticence to ask for help, and I thought it pretty humorous the tuff paratrooper Platoon Sergeant gladly handed the chore off to me. See, I have no such qualms.<\/p>\n

The best things in life are free, but sadly it takes money to pay all the expenses. Hosting the domain, Professional Licensing, Insurance, Attorney Fees, Internet, Phones, Continuing Education requirements, tax prep, PI software renewals, and a host of other cats and dogs all go into making this happen.<\/p>\n

What we do not collect in donations to the cause, several of us pay out of pocket. Its always been that way. Please help us to provide the content you’ve come to enjoy, and at the same time keep the Stolen Valor fires burning at Military Phony. Without support the sites go away.<\/p>\n

Y’all know me, and know I’d never ask any to do what I wouldn’t, so please join me in tickling the Donate option of your choice top right on the home page. You have our absolutely deepest appreciation for your generous donation, and have our assurance not a dime is wasted.<\/p>\n

The snail-mail address will be provided individually, per request.<\/p>\n

Many thanks,
\nAW1Ed<\/p>\n

From Dave,<\/p>\n

Just wanted to add a few things here.\u00a0 The preservation of our content since 2006 remains one of our primary missions.\u00a0 We have lost a lot of the people that helped make this community what it is over the years.\u00a0 However, their presence on the interwebnetthingy lives on.\u00a0 Many thanks to so many of you who have made that possible.<\/p>\n

We are now hosting nearly 100 gig of content.\u00a0 I mentioned a while back that I wanted to buy an new router for one of our locations out of your donations but I decided to just pay for it out of pocket instead.\u00a0 One of our other admins has contributed so much of his expertise, time, and money over the years I could never find the words to thank him enough.\u00a0 He has refused to let me acknowledge him publicly so this is the only way I can come close to doing it…\u00a0 From all of us here, thank you so much Pumpkin.<\/p>\n

One of our other regular content contributors has stepped up to help support us in the past and has done so again recently.\u00a0 \u00a0How can I ever thank them enough for all of their content contributions alone?\u00a0 Their continued financial support leaves me speechless, not a thing often achieved.<\/p>\n

If you find our site worthwhile,\u00a0 please help us preserve it and continue to produce great new content.\u00a0 \u00a0I have a pretty good stock of booze and cigars at the moment and the Former Soviet seems content enough.\u00a0 The burden that your contributions takes off of us is a huge thing.\u00a0 Thank you so very much.\u00a0 You should all get a thank you from AT&T and a few other faceless corporations as well.\u00a0 Don’t hold your breath.<\/p>\n

Humbly Submitted,<\/p>\n

Dave<\/p>\n
