The stories after that were his and only his. But Defenders of Freedom should not bear the fault for Poe expanding on his record, and they won\u2019t again. This week I will be honoring DoF, starting off with a meager $10 to help their mission. DoF sends support boxes to our men and women in uniform, support wounded Soldiers with emergency financial assistance, supports the families of wounded Soldiers and support the USO at DFW Airport (which helped at least one blogger get married.) <a href=\"http:\/\/defendersoffreedom.us\/donate.php\">So, I hope you will join me and give them a few dollars.
