Here's some!
- Support Our Troops
- Looking for ways to support and honor U.S. military service members and veterans who protect our security and freedom? In years past, you could wrap up a care package and mail it to "Any Service Member" for the holidays, but with increased mail restrictions, the Pentagon is asking people to help through financial contributions, letter-writing and e-mail, purchasing authorized pre-made care packages, or volunteering time through non-profits.
This page has links to programs that offer aid to our military -- everything from care packages to emergency services to military family support. Show your pride in our armed forces today, either by purchasing a gift or card for a servicemember, or donating to programs that support our military. - Volunteer | Do Something
- Powering offline action. Using the power of online to get teens to do good stuff offline. We will give you tons of easy ways to do something!
- Show Your Support
- OurMilitary- The official Department of Defense web site encouraging support of U.S. Military troops around the world, especially those fighting the War on Terror.
- Make The Difference Network
- MTDN leverages the power of a social network to help nonprofits extend their message and increase donations.

Excellent lens Sylvia, lensrolled with my Michael Jackson - You Are Not Alone. There was so much about Michael which wasn't publicised during his life, I think he liked to work quietly to help so many people. I hope people can begin to get past the controversies which dogged him and see the real Michael, someone who was always giving and whose legacy to the World is unmatchable.
