Lets start asking our elected representatives to increase our soldiers' pay and benefits.

1. Higher pay.
2. Better travel reimbursement
3. Better death benefits
4. Better retirement benefits

I am sure I am missing a lot of really important things we should be doing better for our soldiers, but hopefully this list will start a meaningful conversation about ways we can really show our support for the troops.

Those things you posted are very good starts. Here are some more.

-Investing much more money into VA programs and hospitals.

-Creating a better system for Health Care for Family Members. I cannot go to a Doctor right now b/c the one Tri-Care approved Doctor where I live in not taking any more patients. And I don't exactly live in a remote area.

-Making sure that Combat Veterans don't end up living on the streets, period.

I'll post some more as I think of them.

-Demosthenes

I think that saying that you're a troop supporter is kind of like saying that you're an athletic supporter.

Is that someone who buys tickets to sports events?
