#SundaySalute:
Shelle Michaels (www.twitter.com/publicrelations), National Communication Officer for Soldiers' Angels ( www.soldiersangels.org) was approached by Stacy and Nick from www.urlradio.net about doing a service member salute radio show in honor of the troops, veterans, their families and the businesses and organizations out there that go above and beyond in their efforts to assure that our troops are supported. Michaels quickly embraced this opportunity to showcase the military in all their glory through her favorite mediums-- Social Media! Soldiers' Angels will always be in the spotlight of this two hour radio show, but as always, Soldiers' Angels works wingtip-to-wingtip with other organizations and will mingle with them socially as well.
URL (U Rock Lately) Radio is a local radio station on a national stage, the Internet. It's a station for the people and by the people. U R in charge. U R keepin' it local. U decide the music. U decide the programming. U R important. U Rock! U R the future of radio.
We're changing the face of radio and yet getting back to the basics. We're taking the good old days of local radio, with local on air talent, requests, dedications, programming and focus and moving it to the internet. URL radio can do something else local radio stations can't — go anywhere without downloading software. If you are at work, more than likely, you can get us. If you are traveling out of state for business, more than likely, you can get us. If you are vacationing, more than likely, you can get us. If you've moved away and still want to keep in touch, you can get us. If you are stationed in Iraq or Afghanistan or anywhere globally, you can get us. As long as you have internet access, you can get us. Within the next couple years, internet access will be available almost everywhere: cars, tractors, televisions, it's even spread to phones.
This really is the future of radio and we're excited to be at the forefront. Lock us in www.URLradio.net and listen to the #SundaySalute every Sunday from 1600-1800 (CST). Email ShelleMichaels@urlradio.net if you would like a request or to be a guest on the show.

While there is a captive audience, check out the recent recap of the Milblog Conference 2010 hosted in Arlington, Virginia last weekend: http://shock.military.com/Shock/videos.do?displayContent=213558.
Thank you for all that you do!
May No Soldier Go Unloved. May No Soldier Walk Alone. May No Soldier Be Forgotten. Until They All Come Home.

Doctors can heal a broken body, but music can heal the soul with sounds and words that soothe and comfort. From Franki Love, who writes of the longing between child and deployed mother (a special gift for Mother's Day), to Joe Brocato's love song (a pure thank you for the troops), there are some beautiful opportunities to make expressions of gratitude while supporting the work of Soldiers' Angels.

Because of what has been sacrificed, here on the homefront we have the peace and safety to enjoy ourselves with both everyday activities and bigger celebrations. We're getting ready for one of those bigger celebrations in San Antonio in May. Please check out the details to see this wonderful opportunity, and the special items created to raise money for the mission of Soldiers' Angels. [

Severely-wounded Marine Todd Nicely's story has been on the milblogs and passed among friends who are praying for him. A group on Facebook has also been established to send him and his family their love and encouragement as they face the monumental task of recovery. Please check out the links to see how you can personally help this hero who has given almost everything in service to this country. As a triple amputee, he is going to have a long recovery and will need all the financial and mental support we can give him. [
With the increasing number wounded, there is a high demand for SA's First Response Backpacks. These great packs are one of the first indications wounded soldiers receive that Americans back home are thinking of them. They are distributed in-country to Combat Support Hospitals and other major facilities that treat or transport the wounded, and the thanks we receive from the wounded who get one are amazing. If you can, please help us ensure we have enough of these packs to meet the demand! [
The Team of Angels that works with the wounded includes some of the most amazing Angel leaders. They all spend hours and hours dealing with terribly-wounded heroes and the families who are standing by the bedsides. Some of them pull off logistical miracles. Others literally hold the hands of more wounded soldiers than they can count, and some are the rock a family of a wounded soldier needs, or the facilitator of a great meal that lifts their spirits for awhile.
