True West for the troops
November 9, 2009
We contribute 25 copies of True West magazine to Give2thetroops.org where we hear they are devoured and fought over. Got this letter from the org today:
"We cannot express to you how much the troops appreciate receiving packages and letters from our organization. We encourage you to read the letters from the troops posted on our web site. We continuously add new letters and photos from the troops. Your donation allows us to continue our mission and help the troops' morale by showing them how much we care and appreciate the sacrifices they make for us.
"Give2TheTroops is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to supporting the physical, moral and spiritual health of America's armed forces in combat zones and military hospitals through care packages and letters.
"Your gift is an affirmation of the kindness and humanity that our country's principles were founded on."
—Dana Courtney, Give2TheTroops.Inc.
Went into the Beast yesterday with Kathy and the kids and saw "A Serious Man" at Camelview Five. Then had Mexican Food at Guadalajara at Central and I-10, then went up and saw the Cowboy Artist's Show. Speaking of artwork:
I Can't Believe I Drew It
Here is a sweet little gouache of Mickey Free I ran across this morning:
"This is the happiest of all men, for he is superior to everything he possesses."
—Voltaire

- Bob, I have a lifetime subscription, thanks to True West Maniac #116 and my fast fingers back when you made that offer. Any chance I can purchase a couple of subscriptions that you can send to the troops along with your 25 free ones?
