Hurricane Katrina Relief Blog

MoltenThought is joining the bloggers' relief effort to help Hurricane Katrina victims. This post will remain at the top of the blog all day September 1st in honor of our fellow Americans in such dire need along the Gulf Coast. Please scroll down for fresh content.

Thanks to Hugh Hewitt and Glenn Reynolds for leading this effort.

We'd like to ask you to consider supporting The Armed Forces Retirement Home. The description from TruthLaidBare provides a compelling reason for doing so:

The Armed Forces Retirement Home is the facility to care for aging veterans of the US Military. The Gulfport MS facility was severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina, and over 400 elderly vets must be transported to the AFRH facility in Washington DC. The AFRH is in need of donated toiletry items, or contributions to the trust fund used to operate the facility. The residents are old, many are ill, and they've lost the only home they have left. Some of them may not survive to return to it. They fought to defend our freedom. Isn't that worth a couple of cans of shaving cream and a bottle of shampoo?

Yes, it is. Please consider donating to this worthy cause.
