What's shocking to me is the lack of interest by most Americans, who are more concerned with the "balloon boy" incident than what's going on with our service-people. This site: http://www.peer2.com/PSMgTm was created with a goal to get 111,111 pledges by Veterans Day. They didn't even come close. Lets try to help them reach that goal by New Years!
