Supporting Stryker Brigade News

Jul-14-2005 » Filed Under: Announcements , Charitable Projects

As most of you know Stryker Brigade News (SBN) is maintained by a dedicated group of volunteers, but the cost of hosting and managing the site, in terms of time and money, can be significant for our contributors. Consequently, since many people have asked what they can do to support the effort we thought it would be helpful to put together the following list.

Our primary concern has always been the well-being of our troops and their families. Be sure to first browse the list of charitable projects we've highlighted and the long list of other organizations providing direct support to military families. The highest payment we could receive is the knowledge that they are taken care of, and that we helped accomplish that. Still want to help us? Ok, there are numerous ways you can support this site.

  • Donate a few dollars via PayPal or Amazon's Honor System.
  • Purchase personal or care package items via SBN's Amazon links. There's no extra cost to you, and SBN earns a small commission on every sale. Just come back here and click on this link each time you want to shop at Amazon.com.
  • Purchase an item (or five or ten) from SBN's Cafe Press shop.
  • Buy an ad for your site, product, or business on SBN through BlogAds.
  • Tell your friends about SBN, and point them to an item you enjoyed.
  • Just send a nice email to our contributors ( thanks at strykernews dot com ).

Of course you're under no obligation, but if you enjoy our news blog, forum or photo gallery we'd love to have your support. Regardless, we'll be here. Thanks!

SBN Team

I'm constantly on this site since my Husband was deployed in October. I would like to contribute as well but I do not have paypal or anything like that. Is there an address that I can send to? This site has helped me get through some tough times when my husband is unable to reach me. Thanks to all the people who have put this site together....it really means alot to all of us who have family members deployed. Thanks again.

I've been wondering what I could do also, since all of you have helped me soooo much this past year. A day doesn't go by that I don't visit this site. I have left the site crying, and laughing, but always feel in touch with our soldiers. You are all so dedicated and patriotic, and I can't thank you enough.

I want to thank all you at strykernews for this site. Since my sons recent deployment to Iraq I am glued to your site to keep updated on what is going on with his unit. The news, photos, and the bulleton board are great. I enjoy looking at the photos, getting a glimps at the pictures and seeing the soldiers doing their jobs is great. Really hoping to see my son in one of them. What would be great if all possible getting a little video clips posted to. Once again thank you. Keep up the great work.

I have found this site to be a godsend for my family. We live in the heart of 3rd ID - HInesville, Ga and this site allows us to get news directly related to our boys in 172nd...thank you for all that you do.

Thank you for this site. It has allowed my family to get a closer look at the soldiers iwth 172nd...out local news only focuses on the 3rdID. I appreciate all that you do...

Thank you to all who keep this site updated! I look at it several times a week since my son's been in Iraq. It's a great support!! I'm trying to support it and have been to the cafe press site, but would love to do more. What else can we do to ensure you are able to keep operating!! Thanks to all and remember you're in our prayers daily!
