Issue #8, AUGUST 2006 Issue Date: August 9th, 2006 Total Active Subscribers: 39 From: Tom Ruley, President, NROTC Dear Readers, Welcome to our monthly newsletter. This newsletter is viewed by the general public entering from our website and is emailed directly to our subscribers. If you haven't subscribed yet, please do so. As a subscriber, you will be informed monthly on our charitable activity. Its easy, just look for the sign up area on the left margin of our website. We have not been having very good success in our fundraising efforts so far. There were no donations received in July. Fortunately again this month, we were not overwhelmed with service banner requests. We are still hiring "Work At Home" telemarketers to conduct our fundraising. We continue to touch people in a special way every time we send out or hand deliver a service banner. Following is a sampling of the comments we received this past month: "All 3 of my sons are serving together in Iraq. I would like to thank you for caring and your support." "Thank you so much for providing these banners. Our family really appreciates the support, while my husband is serving in Afghanistan!" "Thank you for everything you do to help the military." "Thank you for doing this!!!!" "I think this is wonderful. I would love to display this." Each of you reading can do NROTC a really big favor by going to our website and looking for the banner link to R. Lee Ermey. You know, the Marine Drill Sergeant from the history channel... Please click his banner and give NROTC a vote!... It moves us up higher on his link back list and will help us get more visitors on our website!... You are allowed to vote every 24 hours and voting for us daily or at least often will REALLY BE APPRECIATED!... We are currently number 18 on the list. In July and early August '06, it was our honor to fulfill 22 Blue Star Service Banner requests. One Blue Star Service banner had two stars and another had three stars. On August 3rd '06 a Gold Star Service Banner was personally presented to the family of Naval Petty Officer 2nd Class Edward "Austin" Koth, age 30, of Towson, Maryland. Petty Officer 2nd Class Koth was with Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit Eight in Baghdad, seeking out and neutralizing roadside bombs. On July 26th, one of them he was defusing exploded and killed him. We honor Petty Officer 2nd Class Koth as we honor all of those who have died in service to our country. We hope that the surviving loved ones of these true American heroes will be comforted in knowing that countless Americans share their sorrow and would offer their condolences if they could. Following is a listing of our July and early August 2006 Service Banner donees. For the protection of these recipients from those who might want to do them harm, we do not provide names or exact addresses. Thank you for reading. That is all, Tom Ruley, President, NROTC
