The incredible freedoms and privileges we enjoy as Americans, the freedom to play this game and live our lives how we see fit, are not free. They are paid for in blood and treasure.

The debt of gratitude we owe to generation after generation of military personnel and their families is something we can NEVER repay. The government is obligated to care for these wonderful people, but is that enough? No, it absolutely isn’t.

MyPointPool.com is proud to be able to do just a tiny little bit to try to help the men and women and families that are standing on that wall, day and night, guarding not only our freedoms but acting as a beacon of hope to people all over the world. It is our military men and women who do so much to extend freedom to people in the world who, without America, are condemned to living under the eternal darkness of tyranny and despair.

Americans are the most generous people in the world but while we react mightily to disasters, the ongoing needs of the very people who MOST deserve our undying support tend to fade from our consciousness over time as we lead our busy lives.

The Fisher House™ program is a unique private-public partnership that supports America’s military in their time of need. The program recognizes the special sacrifices of our men and women in uniform and the hardships of military service by meeting a humanitarian need beyond that normally provided by the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs.

Because members of the military and their families are stationed worldwide and must often travel great distances for specialized medical care, Fisher House™ Foundation donates "comfort homes", built on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers. These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful times – during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury.

There is at least one Fisher House™ at every major military medical center to assist families in need and to ensure that they are provided with the comforts of home in a supportive environment. Annually, the Fisher House™ program serves more than 10,000 families, and have made available nearly 2.5 million days of lodging to family members since the program originated in 1990. By law, there is no charge for any family to stay at a Fisher House operated by the Department of Veterans Affairs; and Fisher House Foundation uses donations to reimburse the individual Fisher Houses operated by the Army, Navy, and Air Force. No family pays to stay at any Fisher House!

Fisher House, according to www.charitynavigator.com, is an "exceptional" charity with nearly 96% of every dollar reaching the intended recipients. I urge you to click on the Fisher House logo above and visit their web site at www.FisherHouse.org, find out more about this fine charity and give whatever you can – no matter how small – to help our military families.

Thank you – and God Bless America!
