The Daily Kos blog presents a letter of a father whose son Pfc. Matthew Deister of the Maine Army National Guard’s 172nd Mountain Co., and is paying for charges and services that should have been taken care of by the Pentagon.
Blogger in his appeal for contribution towards the cause says:
Can you spare 5 bucks for one hour of internet service for the 172nd? If yes, email me at bipm04103@yahoo.com and I’ll tell you where to send it. Sorry I don’t have a fancy PayPal account or high-tech credit card processing technology. This is an old-fashioned grassroots effort, born out of pride in our troops...and anger at the Republican country club elitist “leaders” who aren’t supporting them. We’ll accept a 5-dollar bill, 5-dollar check, 5-dollar money order or 500 pennies in a coffee can. In return, Pfc. Matthew Deister and his company get to log on and connect to their family, friends and country for an extra hour or two without being forced to pay for it. I’ll start by donating 10 hours worth.
