Entertainer Cher is known for putting her money where her mouth is.
Although she opposes the war in Iraq, she has consistently given a great deal of financial support to organizations that help wounded soldiers in every branch of the U.S. armed forces.
Like many patriots, the singer believes that America was misled by the administration in the reasoning for invading Iraq -- an invasion which begat terrorism in the streets that hadn't been there before and increasing security threats to the troops on the ground and even elsewhere. More than 2,500 of our fine young men and women have been killed in Iraq, and the count of the wounded is near or more than 20,000 since the war began.
Her newest involvement is with Operation Helmet ( http://www.operation-helmet.org/ ), which for only little more than $70, a soldier's helmet can be made to provide greater protection from potentially deadly head injuries. You can read more about the project at the web site. Click on www.operation-helmet.org for more information about how you can help.
I believe in love, dear Cher, and I believe in you.
