To my fellow Gen Y-ers:
We are living in a technological worId, and I am a 23-year old technological girl. Like other 18-20 somethings, we are the Voice..er..the Keyboard of the Future! I believe my generation cares for our troops. I want to validate my belief!
Our generation is not lazy; we are well educated and well aware of global issues. I will admit that a Twitter “Tweet” notified me of the Info-Celebrity Billy Mays passing, and that a friend's Facebook status informed me of the latest "Lunar Blasting"
I have decided to utilize the powerful social media platform towards an important cause. To assure our friends in uniform, that we are aware of their sacrifice overseas, We Band Behind our Brothers and Sisters.
I do not care if you are a Democrat or Republican; a Jedi or a Trekkie; or, a Mac or a PC.
We can all agree on one thing:
We have all been affected by today's war. Let’s do this. Support them. They are our lunch buddies, our bathroom buddies, our lab partners, our wing men, our designated drivers, our FRIENDS.
An easy $1 donation will go towards the cost of sending a care package (each package costs $11.95 postage).
Why donate?
1. Prove to other Generations that we are NOT wasting away at the computer, we are making a difference!
2. Pressing the "Donate" button is faster than creating your latest Facebook status at your lunch break..
3. ...or thinking of the latest witty 140 character "Tweet"..
4. Let's Band Behind our Brothers and Sisters; and use our Savvy Social Media Skills to
Support our Friends!
Sincerely,
Olivia Giachino
Chicago, IL
