Spirit of America is a fantastic charity that raises money to help provide whatever American troops overseas need to complete their mission. Recently, they raised the funds necessary to pay for the cleft palate surgeries of two Afghan children at the request of U.S. special operations soldiers.
Now Spirit of America is requesting donations to buy two dirt bikes for Afghan police working with U.S.troops:
“The elders from the villages that will offer recruits are located in some remote areas where the terrain is slow-go for most vehicles, including the ALP’s Ford Rangers. These villages are more accessible to dirt bikes than trucks, and we would prefer to use the bikes in these areas while utilizing the Ford Rangers in areas at lower elevations in the river valley…. The ALP will have a considerable tactical advantage over anyone else in their areas with the dirt bikes. We intend to train the ALP on the operation of the bikes and give tactical instruction on the employment of motorcycles for reconnaissance and early warning. We as a whole thank Spirit of America for making our job easier in promoting security to Afghans.”
Further, the Army Captain who leads the Special Operations team told Spirit of America, “the dirt bikes drive the insurgents crazy.” Spirit of America hopes to raise $2,630 to cover the cost of two dirt bikes. Gifts are tax-deductible. You can donate here.
