Posted By Blackfive

Army gets back out front again with donations (THANKS!!!!).  Come on, people, this is it.  We've got to raise another $8,000 by Friday which is Veterans Day.  What better reason to celebrate Veterans day than by having helped our heroes?

So, you've already donated?

Thank you!

Now, quit lollygagging and grab these flyers and post 'em at your Starbuck's, grocery store, gym, condo mailroom, plaster 'em on your boss's car, etc.  [PDF Flyers at Argghhh!]

Move!

Call your radio stations, tv stations, congressmen, rockstars and get them to support Valour-IT.

  • Uber Pig
    AuthorLogo-pig.jpg
    Uber Pig was an Infantryman from late 1991 until early 1996, serving with Second Ranger Battalion, I Corps, and then 25th Infantry Division. At the time, the Army discriminated against enlisted soldiers who wanted use the "Green to Gold" program to become officers, so he left to attend Stanford University. There, he became expert in detecting, avoiding, and surviving L-shaped ambushes, before dropping out to be as entrepreneurial as he could be. He is now the founder of a software startup serving the insurance and construction industries, and splits time between Lake Tahoe, Boonville, and San Francisco, CA.

    Uber Pig writes for Blackfive a) because he's the proud brother of an enlisted Civil Affairs Reservist who currently serves in Iraq, b) because he looks unkindly on people who make it harder for the military in general, and for his brother in particular, to succeed at their missions and come home in victory, and c) because the Blackfive readers and commenters help keep him sane.
