I got this from Froggy Ruminations Blog.
A Worthy Cause
On Sunday, April 24 2005 at 0900, 2 Navy SEALs from BUD/S Class 202 will paddle a two-man kayak from San Francisco to San Diego to raise money for the families of two fallen comrades.
Mike Price was a Navy corpsman performing contract security for EOD personnel in Iraq when he was killed. He left behind his daughter, Amanda.
David "Jake" Tapper was a SEAL killed in Afghanistan in 2003 when the hummer he was driving was ambushed by AQ forces. In that ambush, a very close friend of mine was shot twice in the neck and once through the shoulder, but managed to survive and subsequently return to Afghanistan in 2004. Jake earned 2 Bronze Stars with "V", the Purple Heart, the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, and 2 Combat Action ribbons (one per deployment). Jake is survived by his wife and FOUR children Raimen, Jared, Vanessa, and Talia.
If you are able, these are worthy causes and deserve your support. Seems to me some of you may have gotten a tax refund recently; let your conscience be your guide.
