Why are the employees of Bell Helicopter (Euless, Texas) on STRIKE?  Bell is the largest manufacturer of fighting machines for our soldiers.  They are contracted by the government and they are union employees.  There is something very wrong here.  Could it be they are unhappy with their working conditions, or maybe they aren't getting paid enough?  Whatever they can answer or however they can justify their being on strike, how will they look a soldier in the eye and explain?

Whatever your complaint is, please suck it up and go back to work (if just one of you would stand up and be counted)......

Pray for and support our soldiers.

I know many of us, myself included, are facing hardships.  We are praying for a miracle to come our way.  Let's not forget our men and women overseas right now.  They are seperated from their loved ones, and they are risking their lives for a war that some people strongly do not agree with.  What ever your thoughts on the war please remember to keep good thoughts for the men and women over there. 

There are many ways for us to send them things, even just a card, to let them know they have not been forgotten.  This can go a long way in making their day, week, or even month.  Some of these men and women do not receive any mail, and that has to be a hard thing being so far from home in such a dangerous situation.  

I know not all of us can afford to send a care package off to a soldier, but we can all afford to pause for a moment and wish them the best.  We can afford to send good thoughts, hopes, and prayers their way.  If you can afford to send them something, do so.  If not, send them your hopes that they make it home safely in the way of simply pausing in your day to remember they are there. 

Remember their families left behind.  Their mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, wives, husbands, and children that wait at home for their return.  Remember that while you may, or may not, agree with the war they are fighting doesn't mean you cannot support those that are fighting it.  They are not the ones who make the big decisions about the war.  This post is not about my political beliefs about the war.  I won't mention those here.  It is about these men and women who are acting upon the decisions of our leaders.

Formerly known as Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act (SSCRA)

"The Servicemembers' Civil Relief Act applies in bankruptcy cases. It provides protection to members of the military against the entry of default judgments and gives the court the ability to stay proceedings against military debtors.
.... 
The purpose of the SCRA is strengthen and expedite national defense by giving servicemembers certain protections in civil actions. By providing for the temporary suspension of judicial and administrative proceedings and transactions that may adversely affect servicemembers during their military service, the SCRA enables servicemembers to focus their energy on the defense of the United States. Among other things, the SCRA allows for forbearance and reduced interest on certain obligations incurred prior to military service, and it restricts default judgments against servicemembers and rental evictions of servicemembers and all their dependents."
