What you can do - right now - for our troops
I am frequently asked the question, "What can we as individual Americans do for our troops, particularly those serving overseas?"
I have two answers and a recommendation. The two answers are to pray for them and to say, "Thank you," when you encounter serving military personnel and veterans.
The recommendation is to "send a few dollars to Operation Call Home."
Operation Call Home is the brainchild of Ladd Pattillo, an Austin, Texas, businessmen, U.S. Army Reserve colonel and personal friend.

You can buy calling cards for our troops through a Department of Defense Military Exchange program: Military Exchange Prepaid Calling Cards. Cards are distributed through the American Red Cross, Air Force Aid Society, Fisher House, Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, USO, and the Soldier & Family Assistance Center.

Hipster PDA
I like this version of the hipster PDA by Doug Giuliana at SolutionJunkie: "Getting Things Done -- my way" ... uses a carabiner and sailcloth covers ...
To see Thomas Jefferson's version of the hipster PDA, see "Ye Olde Hipster" at 43 Folders.
I'm going to try Doug's version ... the butterfly clip version is not finger-friendly ...
