I'll bet this doesn't generate nearly so many hits as before (over 700 visitors yesterday alone, a record!) but two servicemen respond to the University Chronicle on the calendar from here that PowerLine covered a couple of days ago.

1. Those of you who have never served in the United States military could not possibly understand what it means to get news from home or pictures from home. When I received the calendar it made my week and probably my cruise. It's nice to see the smiling faces of some of my old high school and college friends.

2. I am a soldier who is deployed overseas, and I would like to thank the people who have put so much time and effort into the Hometown Proud calender. I can safely speak on behalf of my fellow soldiers when I say that it is quite appreciated.

We thank Chad and Dan for their service to our country. We'll also toss a link to the calendar's homepage if you'd like to order one and help another serviceman.
