Subject: The Wonderful Humanitarianism of Val Kilmer

Hey Guys

I just wanted to spotlight all the wonderful organisations that Val Kilmer supports. Hopefully this will help people (who don't already know) see how awesome Val is and that all the negative stories about this amazing man are full of well...horse do-do.

In particular, in light of the increasingly and annoyingly frequently spreading venom of the recent "Vietnam Vets" fiasco, I would like to point out that Val does indeed support the vets who have fought in the wars and kept us safe. Val is, of course, a man of peace and is not in favour of war, but he recognises and commends the sacrifices that have been made by those who serve.

http://www.operationcominghome.org/

**Operation Coming Home is a team of veterans, homebuilders, and other volunteers that are dedicated to providing free housing in the Raleigh/Durham, NC area to severely wounded veterans of recent Middle East wars. They help make a wounded veteran feel "right at home" in the Triangle.**

It is unthinkable and inconceivable (and just plain old horse do-do) that Val would ever insult the Vets and still support charities like those above. I think Esquire magazine and a certain reprehensible website that pretends to support the military have some apologies to make to Val.

Knowing Val though, I'm sure he would be a lot more forgiving than I would be under the circumstances.

Other charities Val supports:

http://www.thewildlifecenter.org/

**The Wildlife Center is a charity that I have donated to for over ten years. We have released over one hundred wild animals on our wilderness retreat that Dr. Ramsey has PERSONALLY treated. Please check it out.**

http://www.vday.org/main.html

**I heartily support Eve Ensler's V-DAY efforts. (To help stop violence against women and girls.)**

http://www.indian-affairs.org/

**For 85 years, AAIA (Association for American Indian Affairs) has been working to promote these goals and provide the critical elements that Native American Indian children and families need to live happy, healthy and productive lives.**

http://www.warehouse21.org/

**Our mission is to inspire youth to empower themselves thorough artistic expression and productivity.**

http://www.amnesty.org/

**Amnesty International is a worldwide movement of people who campaign for internationally recognized human rights for all.**

http://www.americares.org/

**AmeriCares is an international relief organization whose passion to help is matched by an ability to deliver.**

http://www.habitat.org/

**HFHI (Habitat for Humanity International) seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world, and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action.**

Val is too modest to sing his own praises and does a lot of wonderful humanitarian work, often anonymously, but Hobbits are psychic and have no such modesty when it comes to defending those who inspire us.

Cheers, Michael
