Students taking a stand to support US troops

I just learned about three university students taking a stand for the troops. Nick Stewart and Ryan Brown from the University of Arizona, plus Brock Ameele from Oregon State University, have started a campaign to support US troops. Their web site is called Thankful For Freedom. From their site:

Thankful for Freedom is a campaign to show thanks and support for our troops, bring awareness to what is commonly taken for granted, and to rekindle a sense of pride in being an American Citizen.

They are selling t-shirts to generate funds for the troops. The shirts are $15 and shipping is free. $5 from each shirt goes to causes that support US troops: Operation Care Package; Give 2 The Troops; Disabled American Veterans:, and, Hire Heroes USA. Their goal is to raise $5 million during 2008. I wish them success.
