A couple of days ago, SEAL Team Six suffered a tremendous blow with the loss of life when 22 of our heroes (The very same team that got Bin Laden) died along with 9 other heroes in an unfortunate helicopter crash in Afganistan downed from enemy fire.

I was personally saddened when I heard of this news since I have known over the years some wonderful, Honorable Naval Special Warfare Members who have made many sacrifices over the years for this great nation of ours...

I am only one of many that are asking everybody to donate to the Navy SEAL Foundation so that the families of the fallen will be taken care of and the children of these heroes will have the opportunity to get the best education possible.

Here's their website:

I'm sending $10.00 because that's all I can afford right now but, if I was working, I'd send $100.00 because they truly do need our support.

Thank you all for taking the time to read this and I hope you can also sacrifice ten dollars also to give towards a worthy cause such as this one.

Respectfully,
Henry
