Spirit of America is an humanitarian organization I have followed for a number of years now. They do excellent work and have partnered with a "Real American Hero". Check out an e-mail I recently received.

Back in May we brought you the story of the destitute Afghan Farmers. We knew immediately that we had to help, and created the Afghan Farmers Project, championed by an Army Sergeant Major that we call "Mack" who said the Afghan Farmers were in need of some "Good Deeds". Its scope and reach continues to this day with the announcement of the finalists of CNN's All Star tribute, "applauding the world's unheralded heroes". Mack is one of the 18 finalists being recognized for reaching out and distributing aid to the Afghan Farmers. That aid, in the form of farm tools, clothing, school supplies, 40,000 saffron bulbs and more was provided by you. . . through your contributions to Spirit of America.
Mack's selection is proof-positive that your support can make a difference. Out of 7,000 nominations from 93 countries, he was chosen as one of the finalists. Wow. Spirit of America's staff recognized the potential importance of the Afghan Farmer's Project and then you, our supporters, acknowledged the project's possibilities with your contributions. With the support we provided to the Afghan people through our project with SGM Mack now being acclaimed to an international audience, Spirit of America's supporters can take pride in this nomination.
We've been told that Mack will be interviewed during the live global telecast on Thursday, December 6 at 9pm EST, hosted by CNN's Anderson Cooper and Christiane Amanpour where they will announce a winner in each of the 6 categories. You can see and read about his nomination and the other finalists at this CNN link: "Meet the CNN Heroes finalists".
We'll send an update with the results after the telecast in case you can't tune in.
All the best,
Spirit of America
