Blogathon 2010 - Troop Xing & the Call to Prayer

It seems fitting that Blogathon 2010, in honor of the Wounded Warrior Project, would begin at a military installation. In the span of a week, it has become nothing out of the ordinary for me to see men and women in uniform. Granted, that should be an obvious one, given my location, but having grown up in a rural area, the only military personnel I ever see are recruiters and reservists. Now, suddenly, I'm becoming accustomed to such things as "Troop Xing" signs and music at 6:15 in the morning, that sounds across the base. It's sort of like the call to prayer. But not really.

Blogathon 2010

I will again be participating in the Blogathon; however, the official organizers cancelled the event for some unknown reason. So, I am going to continue on my own -- I've set the event for 9am EST 30 JUL - 9am EST 31 JUL. Throughout the blogathon, I will post a blog every 30 min. for the entire 24 hrs. I'm sponsoring the Wounded Warrior Project, whose purpose is "to raise awareness and enlist the public's aid for the needs of severely injured service men and women, to help severely injured service members aid and assist each other, and to provide unique, direct programs and services to meet the needs of severely injured service members." This year, I hope to raise $250 (donors raised $116 for IAVA last year, and I hope to more than double that amount this year).
