This site is an extension of but separate from the main War On Terror News site. You'll note an absence of advertising and a variety of authors different from those on the news site. It is a benefit of the type of Typepad site we maintain that we can add such additional "blogs" and this one is an informal site to help in the organization and unification of the #SOT Support Our Troops efforts on Twitter.
There are numerous tweeters that should be offered authorships here, that are tweeting Support of Our Troops for the right reasons. They have strong political beliefs but are willing to set aside politics during #SOT tweets under not only that hashtag, but others. They don't bicker over authorship of a tag or do it for fame, glory, or money. They tweet what they do because Our Troops deserve it.
If you know someone that is willing to contribute to the selfless efforts, feel free to ask them if they'd like to contribute here. If they are willing, we'll send them the "invitation." If that someone is you, let us know. More than 500 tweeters send out #SOT tweets. More than 500 tweeters send out #Military tweets. Still others use #HonorVets or other tags. Not all tweets make it into the timeline. Not all tweeters know about tags nor these tags. Not all that know that know they are welcome on this site.
And all authors are reminded, this is an informal site, a place for them to write in the style they're most comfortable, that they need not worry of errors or journalistic styles, but should speak from the heart of the things they find most important to help others learn why Support of Our Troops is so important. It is not a site for judgmental flames or selfish endeavor, and has not experienced it. It is not a site for political thought and we hope both liberals and conservatives, both republicans and democrats, as well as independents and moderates will join in, without regard for politics, to do what is right: to Support Our Troops. And in other places argue to their parties and politicians to do the same in real and meaningful manners.
On the main site, we also have a "Support Our Troops - Actively" category. It is a place where we demonstrate innovative ways that anyone, regardless of finance, time, or neither can do so, but I have been conflicted over personally linking to the main site from here.
