#1 Man, I was hoping some of that money was going to be used to buy joooooo bullets (since they're now banned by the military). What a way to send a message to the goons in Iraq and build up morale for the troops abroad and their families here! God bless our troops.

#2 Kudos to Home Depot! I went there on Meomorial Day weekend and got a 15% discount. Good for them, more companies should step up and help our soldiers families while they are gone.

#3 Not all corporations are heartless. This weekend at Yankee Stadium (Yankees vs. Mets), the Special Operations Warrior Foundation will receive a big check in an on-field ceremony featuring a Golden Knight parachute drop. George Steinbrenner (who's based in Tampa near CentCom) has given over $1 million to the Foundation in the past, and his son and Yankee partner Hal is on the board of the Foundation.

#4 What a great way to support the troops!
(I noticed last year when I donated to Operation Air Conditioner that Home Depot made buying AC for our troops very easy!)
I'll be shopping there soon and let them know I'm grateful.

#5 Ace Hardware in downtown knoxville is selling hardware to military families /at cost/. Who knows what percentage that is but that's pretty cool of them.

#6 Home Depot will get my business from now on. Contrast them to Pep Boys who fired one of their store managers when his reserve unit was called up.
