There's an auction on ebay where someone is selling a manual entry thoroughbred program for $15.95. The nice touch is that he is donating the $15.95 in your name to a charitable organization for US soldiers (such as the USO, Armed Forces Foundation, ..). That is pretty cool.

Assuming he's donating the full amount, that would be cool.

Playing devil's advocate, how do we know he's donating anything and not just using that pitch as a come-on to make sales, while pocketing the money?

Happy Holidays.

I have plenty of faith in people, but I still count my change and watch my back.

That's awsome!, the boy's can use all the support they can get this time of year! My 19 year old grandson is over there and I know from the letters he sends home that he sure is sad not being home at X-Mass!

That's right TB. You can only get stabbed in the back when you're out in front.

OH, and it's not manual entry, takes the BRIS single. Not very good though. Haven't had a chance to give a real test, but so far, not very good. A good cause though.
