This Memorial Day weekend, the Call of Duty Endowment, a non-profit organization created by Activision Blizzard dedicated to helping Soldiers, Marines, Sailors and Airmen transition from service to civilian careers, is working with Hire Heroes USA to raise $30,000 in funds to support training and employment assistance programs.

Gamers have only to “Like” the Call of Duty Endowment page on Facebook to show support to our men and women at arms.  HHUSA will receive $1 per “Like,” up to $30,000 for purposes of supporting their work.

Get on Facebook, show your support and remember that Call of Duty is a game, and no matter how real it may look, it does nothing to depict the sacrifices that these men and women offer for their country each and every day.  Few gamers realize the hardship and stress that many in our Armed Forces go through, especially during the re-integration back into civilian livelihood.  At current count, over 508,000 vets are unemployed and need your help. 

Gamers get to see the part that media glorifies the most, we get to play High Speed, Low Drag individuals that are literal geniuses when it comes to cognitive ability.  Those people are hardcore individuals with a mindset that keeps them sharp and ready to go.  Most military personnel in combat arms do not have that luxury, and many have a hard time transitioning back to a 'normal life.'  Gamers see the "guts and the glory" side, not the human one.  This endowment is a good step for Activision, and I recommend everyone here go 'like' that group soonest.  

Show your support at the Call of Duty Endowment Facebook Page now; the fundraiser goes until Monday, May 31^st at 12 PM.
