OK guys and Gals now is the time for all good BTers to come to the aid of their nation..
The Wounded Warriors will be on island this month Sept 27 through Oct 4. they will need some help so they can keep their wallets closed..I know that the BT community will help freely as we have done in the past.. I just logged into www.paypal.com and sent the money to paypal@bonairetalk.com I realize that not everyone can send a $100 but every little bit helps..The only thing that I ask is that you type in the note part of the transaction that it is for the Wounded Warriors 2008..{Boom and I forgot so I had to tell our keeper of $$$ what the money was for.} This is for a great cause.. These men and women have put their lives on the line to protect you and me.. let's let them have the time of their lives without having to worry about money..Please give freely!!!

If you need assistance with the paypal transaction please email the moderators@bonairetalk.com

Thanks Freddie....this should be a yearly tribute. Great idea.
We sent a message but did not put it under wounded warriors. Is there a way to make sure it goes to them?

Hector and Andrea...it is an honor to meet you both!
There is not enough space on this page to express our thanks to you and your family.
It gives us great pleasure to encounter people these days that truely care.
To speak out about a cause or an issue is one thing but to act on it (while putting yourself in harms way) is enlightening.
We are forever in you debt!

I have used paypal before, most recently for the BT auction. They wanted me to give the routing number and all that other stuff, which I know I did not do before. I simply put it on a credit card. I'll try again.
