The World Courage Network. Teach Children How to Save Lives, not take lives.
We need millions of un-armed and well disciplined groups of peace loving and well trained people who at a moments notice, can provide life saving and disaster relief here and in every country around the world. When children around the world are trained by special life-saving experts to become life savers and medics and disaster relief personel, it will be in that point of time that our world will take a giant step away from the constant wars and murder and mahem now plaguing humankind.
Until that day arrives, however, we must do our best here in North America to help the soldiers who have returned home maimed and hurt from the present conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and who are in need of both our emotional and economic support.

Dear Patriotic American,
Have you thanked a wounded hero for your freedom lately?
If not, the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday gives you a perfect opportunity.
That´s because thousands of troops who have been severely burned, blinded or paralyzed in Iraq or Afghanistan will be struggling to put food on the table – and they need your help.
So please make a tax-deductible donation to the Thanksgiving "Thank You" meals project, sponsored by the Coalition to Salute America's Heroes.
Your gift will help provide these financially strapped military families with a $60 gift card to buy groceries, or even go out to a restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner.
You can also send a special Thanksgiving THANK YOU and GET WELL card to a disabled serviceman or woman. A THANK YOU and GET WELL card from you can help in their healing and let them know you're thankful for the sacrifices they've made.
My name is Major General John K. Singlaub, U.S. Army (Ret.), and I'm writing to you on behalf of the Coalition to Salute America's Heroes. The Coalition was formed in 2004 to provide emergency financial aid to severely wounded troops and their families in crisis.
Already the Coalition´s generous donors have responded with emergency financial aid to more than 11,000 requests from our disabled GIs.
In the process we have given them more than $22 million to avoid evictions, foreclosures, utility cutoffs, car repossessions and other financial disastersnbsp; We also provide their families with food, clothing and other basics.
A Coalition survey of wounded troops indicates nearly half their spouses have quit their jobs to care for them. And thousands of spouses who were working have lost their jobs in the recession. No wonder they are having trouble putting food on the table!
A gift of $60 can help provide Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings for one severely wounded GI and his or her family, $120 can help feed two families, $180 can provide dinner for three families, and so on.
And a gift of $15, $25 or $35 can be combined with other donations to feed a family in need.
Your gift to the Coalition's Thanksgiving "Thank You" meals project could help a retired Marine like Christopher Murphy of Pennsylvania, who told us that after being injured by a roadside bomb in Iraq, paying for "rent, food and car payments will be extremely difficult."
Or maybe even someone like Blair Didion Sr., whose photo is above. This retired Army sergeant from Texas, who suffered multiple spinal fractures from a roadside bomb in Iraq, says he sometimes relies on "food from public pantries" to help feed his family.
That´s just not right, and I´m sure you agree.
The good news is you can let a wounded hero like Blair or Christopher know you respect and honor the painful sacrifice they´ve made by helping to provide their family with meals this Thanksgiving.
Let´s face it: You and I can´t heal their physical injuries or make them whole again. (No one can.)
But by helping to provide their families with a meal on Thanksgiving Day you can thank them for the sacrifice they´ve made while protecting your family´s freedom.
Thanks for your patriotic support,
Major General John K. Singlaub
U.S. Army (Ret.),
P.S. As I mentioned, thousands of GIs who have been severely wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan will have trouble putting food on the table this Thanksgiving, and they need your help.
Your tax-deductible donation to the Thanksgiving "Thank You" meals project, sponsored by the Coalition to Salute America's Heroes, will help feed the family of a severely burned, blinded or paralyzed serviceman or woman who has made painful sacrifices while defending your freedom.
