HAM it up for the Troops this Veterans Day!

GreenwoodARMADVeterans Day is approaching. Our Troops, and Veterans deserve our support for their sacrifice to protect our freedom, and the Constitution of this great nation. They also are deployed in many locations around the globe defending American interest, and allowing others to enjoy freedom.

This year Amateur Radio Operators have been asked to open up to the public and provide a service to our communities so that anyone may express thanks and appreciation “live” over the air waves. Amateur Radio is a unique hobby in that we are able to have instant access to the world via radio.

If you know an Amateur Radio Operator ask him or her to join in for this event at a VA Hospital, local Veterans Day Parade, VFW, DAV or American Legion Post and allow the public to salute our Troops, and Veterans.

Our Troops are in need of our support as we are hearing reports that morale may be low.

It would be wonderful if our Troops, and Veterans could wake up on November 11TH and be greeted by our thankful voices worldwide via Ham Radio during the day.

Spread the word, and locate an Amateur Radio Operator near you and set up a location for this to happen. Contact the media, and have them cover the event.

Together we can make this Veterans Day a special one for Troops, Veterans; and their families.

Let’s “HAM IT UP FOR THE TROOPS.”

Speak Your Mind


This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.

Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.
