Greg Kihn is pro-Military!
I listen to Greg Kihn in the morning on KFOX 98.5 here in the Bay Area. He speaks out in favor of our troops all the time. I switched to listen to him after the GWOT started, ’cause he was the ONLY local radio guy to be pro-Military - well, except KSFO that airs Rush.
Greg’s Dad fought in WWII and has talked often about how he found out more about his Dad after his Dad passed away. Greg is the main reason I listen to KFOX. Greg takes some crap from listeners that tell him to shut up about being pro-Military. He even has been right on the money when he equates this to what our parents went through during WWII. And he is so correct, and has even made a point to say this is even worse - ’cause Islamofacism is far more dangerous as it is “in the name of God/Allah” … he is soooo right on!
I sent Greg and Chris, his right-hand-guy during the morning show, a note to see if they could get some info out on the air about Soldiers’ Angels Valour-IT drive. Not sure if they got my note - it’s a web-based thing and ya just never know. Plus, they are busy producing and doing the show. I hope they can help us all out.
So, folks, get to work and think out of the box! Contact local personalities like radio shows! We gotta get to the goal and any way you can get us there is what we need!

Hey Tim!
Thanks much! I’ve been pretty focused on getting as many people as possible to donate to this cause. We are also “enlisting” other bloggers to join a team, put some javascript in their sidebar(s), and help us get donations.
The goal is for all 4 branches’ teams to get to a grand total of $180k by Veteran’s Day! We hope we can get there fast!
If ya wanna help, or maybe other bloggers you know, sign up for TEAM AIR FORCE and get readers involved! The donations are COMPLETELY tax deductible and there are even companies that do donation matching!
These wounded/disabled troops need our help, and we’re pushing hard to get Soldiers’ Angels into the black to keep this program going.
Thanks for checking in, Tim. I haven’t been by your “house” lately. I’ll be by later tonight - promise!

Good luck with your cause and I’d be happy to put something up on my blog to help you support the military.
Shoot me an email or something with the code and I’ll get it up right away. Anything to help the men and women of the military.

Hi Fix! Followed the link in your comment here from Amy Proctor’s blog. Very nice!
Being a big fan of 80’s music, I’m glad Greg Kihn supports our military! Good for him.
