These
are more than numbers. They are precious souls, each one. Imagine a
world without freedom fighters against totalitarian evil.
Please
notice the huge number of casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan. They need
you and they need support. Many are terribly disfigured and
crippled for life. When you can and if you can do what you can!
