Those who are willing to serve always have been serving and always will be serving. Who's to say what group of people receives "our" concern at any given time?

Sorry for the rant, but everywhere (literally, EVERYWHERE) I turn there are solicitations for donation and service regarding this. America gets blasted SO MUCH but that doesn't stop the America "haters" (hate that word) and commentors from knowing EXACTLY where to turn when they need something. Hmph.
Get out of my head!
