Ebates to Support the Troops

One of our sponsors is Ebates and the provide a service that allows consumers to receive a commission rebate for products that they buy from many online stores and major retailers such as   circuit city, where an Ebate rebate will save you 25% off your purchase. 

Now recently I saw a report about CNN's efforts to help soldiers that have lost limbs during the war get medical attention, support, therapy and more.

It struck me that if people were to sign up for Ebates (they are one of our sponsors, but are not promoting or endorsing my suggestion) and took the money that they save from using Ebates to send to organizations that help the troops, then we would have a nice little support circle that could help our troops wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan learn to deal with their injuries and get on with their lives.

On a similar train of thought, it would be nice if some of that money saved were to be used to send care packages to the troops still in harms way in Iraq.
