How This Works

The only thing I have to say is god bless our troops and may God bring peace to our world so they can come home to their families. Their sacrifices should be remembered by all. Best of wishes to you the soldier. May peace bring you home soon! Thank you for what you do everyday!

Weather we agree with our government or not we should all admire and support our troops abroad. Many people do not understand that when these young men and women join our armed forces they take this oath: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." Most love the USA and the freedoms she stands for. Supporting Fisher House is one way we as fellow Americans can pay the wounded and ill for their sacrifices to their country and therefore to ALL of us.

Please remember that it is the soldier, putting his or her life on the line 24/7 so that you and I have the freedom to speak both pro and con on almost any topic without fear of retribution. God bless the American military.

I was in a car accident in 1999 that was pretty bad. I was life flighted to the nearest hospital which was an Airforce Base hospital in San Antonio, TX. When I was discharged from the hospital (I'm not in the military) I was taken to Fisher House. I had nothing. The staff at Fisher House contacted my family, gave me clothing, food and shelter until my family could get to me from Houston, TX. I will never be able to repay them for their kindness.

Kudos to Fisherhouse for being there for those that need them regardless of political views or issues. Many blessings are wished for you in hopes of a successful awareness campaign.

Please remember this site is to raise money for some good charities. Fisher House helps our military out greatly when a family member is sick and need a place to stay in order to be with them. So, even if you think we are "sick to glorify a national mistake" or feel the need to rant about how you feel sorry for us in the military: None of us want to be in a war. If you don't like it, then please use your American freedoms and abilities granted you to vote, petition, run for office, start a nonviolent organization for your cause, write editorials, mentor children, and so on. Do something positive and good: Change your world! Good job to this site and I applaud you. One person can makes a difference, and we if all did one little thing, imagine how much we could change the world!

What a great Charity. I hate that we are in a war, but I support our troops and hope they are all home very soon. God Bless them all and the people they are trying to help.

Great video! Politics aside, it's about the troops and the families...Americans like you and me. They are serving their country and we should all thank them for that. And, a big thank you to organizations like Fisher House who provide support when needed. Actions speak louder than words! Keep watching those videos and earning money for John's charities!

May the grace and peace of our Lord, Jesus Christ, be with all of those deployed and their families. We know you are suffering for our freedoms. Thank you.

Good video. Thanks to all who give so much to insure our freedoms and liberty. God bless, guide and protect you. And thanks to Fighting for starting this site and producing the free CD for the troops.

Thank you for the opportunity to be reminded of just what makes our country so blessed. God bless each and every man and woman in uniform, their families and especially those who have been injured and the families of soldiers lost.

My hat is off to all our troops wherever they may be. Freedom definitely is NOT FREE, and our people in uniform know it. They have seen firsthand the repressive regimes, as well as the terrorists they are helping to protect us from. America is "Truly The Land of The Free' but only because it is also "The Home of The Brave". The people strong enough to put on the uniform and do the job, as well as all who have in the past. God Bless our troops and theif families.

I feel sorry for our troops, for they are not protecting us from nuclear weapons. May i remind everyone that none were found in Iraq. And that bin laden of Afghanistan was the one who ran the 9/11 attacks not Iraq so the connection between 9/11 and Iraq is inaccurate. Remember that bin laden is still making videos and sill hasn't been caught. Being in Iraq killing inicent civilians and imposing "democracy" on the innocent people of Iraq is not keeping us out of harm. It is only causing harm to others.Have the people of this country at the point were we see people of a different nationality as others instead of humans of the same race. But i guess America has always been that way. First with the Natives, then with the slaves and of course with anyone who didn't believe in the church. Life is too short to live it causing harm on others. I feel sorry for the life the solders are living but i have to say i feel worse for the children who have died in Iraq because of them. And even worse for the children in the world and in our own country dieing of treatable diseases because our country is spending its money on a war based on power and money instead of spending money to improve health and peoples lives.

I am so proud of our troops. May God bless them, protect them and bring them home soon.

Even if you do not agree with the war you must realize that they are still there protecting us from harm. We know that are people out there who want to hurt us in any way they can. They have already taken the safty of flying away and we know that people have nuculer weapons. Why risk are selfs the pain and the horible sadness we all felt on 911 when ther is something we can do? Not to mention all the insane people that are still out there. Don't get me wrong i wish nothing but for are troops to come home safe to their familys, but in the mean time please just pray for them it dose not take much of your time and that is the least you can do. Think of the suffering they are going through over the holidays while you are warm, feed and with your familys. They are alone, hungry,cold and most of scared. They need us!!!!!!

Grammy Pammy said it better than I ever could. As the wife of a Vietnam Veteran and sister of an Iraq War Veteran still serving in the National Guard, I applaud your efforts to let our troops know they are our heroes.

Freedom is not free. If you do not like our leaders then vote them out. Our soldiers need our support.
