Welcome to Tunesday's official Pootie diary. I decided to include NFTT with the pootie diary today because I'm dedicating this diary to Rich. He was my wonderful Sailorman. He would approve of this combination.

At one AM tonight it will be four years. It feels like a lifetime ago. Looking back to that time, all I could see was storm clouds shifting constantly all around me. But time passes, as do storms. With the help of my friends, I see a bright blue horizon. Blessings to all of you for making a difference in my life.

NFTT gives us a great opportunity to reach out to our overseas Troops. Every single dollar will help fill a Care Package with what is needed. Be the friend they didn't know they had.

In 1949, President Harry S. Truman led the effort to establish a single holiday for citizens to come together and thank our military for their patriotic service in support of our country. On August 31, 1949, Armed Forces Day was created to replace separate Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force Days. The single-day celebration came from the bringing together each the Armed Forces under one department - the Department of Defense. Each of the military services was asked to drop sponsorship of its specific service day in order to celebrate the newly announced Armed Forces Day. The Army, Navy and Air Force leagues adopted the newly formed day. The Marine Corps didn't drop support for Marine Corps Day, but they also support Armed Forces Day.

Netroots For The Troops is an organization whose purpose is to send Care Packages to our Overseas Troops. We reach out to many Troops who may not received a letter from home for many months, if ever. It is our goal to show our overseas Troops that they aren't forgotten. We strive to remind them that we still care.

Can you imagine yourself being a war zone, and not having anyone at home waiting for you? Can you imagine watching all your friends getting stacks of mail at mail call, and getting nothing yourself? Can you imagine being that alone in the world?

This is the reason why I work with NFTT. This is the reason why I write NFTT diaries and ask you for donations. We have it within our power to reach out to make a difference. When you donate to NFTT, every single dollar reminds our Troops that we are still behind them. That they aren't alone.

Hai and welcome to Tunesday's Pootie diary. I've been having a problem sleeping lately. My mind keeps rushing down the list of all that must be done, searching for anything I might have missed. Both lists never seem to end. I've tried warm milk, herbs, ~~remembering my x husband~~, boring books and movies, pootie fluffing, and even several diaries that should have worked like a charm.
Today, I've tried to create a warm and cuddly diary. A place to let down your hair, and your eyelids. Put on your jammies, light the virtual fire, and join me after the jump.....

I don't care what side of the 'war fence' you are sitting on. I don't care about your politics. Supporting our Troops is the one thing we can ALL agree on. It is the sacrifice of our Troops, that gives us our freedom!

In 1965, United States Air Force Airman Adrian Cronauer arrived in Saigon, to work as a DJ for the Armed Forces Radio Service. His comedy and music choices proved very popular with the Troops. In 1987, the movie Good Morning, Viet Nam was released. It was based on Cronauer's experiences in Viet Nam and starred Robin Williams. This diary will feature some of the music from the movie.

While you are enjoying the music and the pooties this morning, why not consider a donation of funds to assist us with sending Care Packages to our overseas Troops?

Hai and welcome to Tunesday's Pootie diary. The pooties and I decided to take a virtual trip to Hoboken to visit the memory of Ol' Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra. Sit back and relax, as the pooties take us down memory lane.
