EVERYONE please READ!!!!
This is to everyone on this website, please go and give.
This is for our wounded Green Beret wearing Special Forces Soldiers and their families.
To everyone that wanted to donate to this website, I don't want your money, please instead give to the Green Beret Foundation. Let's raise some serious money for Dan and the Green Beret Foundation.
Thanks Dan for doing what you do.
Aaron, this is for you and the men of the GBF.
Thanks,
Jeff

GREEN BERET FOUNDATION
Boston Marathon 2011 4/18/2011 Boston, Massachusetts
I will be running the Boston Marathon as a part of a USASOC Team on 18 April 2011. Last year our team goal was to raise a minimum of $250 per team member; thanks to the outpouring of support, the amount I raised for the Green Beret Foundation was $5,587. My goal this year is to raise at least $6,000 for the Green Beret Foundation ( http://www.greenberetfoundation.org/ ).
The Green Beret Foundation provides unconventional resources to facilitate the special needs of our wounded, and provide unique support to the Special Forces community in order to strengthen readiness and uphold Green Beret traditions and values. Donations to the Green Beret Foundation are tax-deductible (Federal Tax ID Number is 27-1206961).
Donating through this website is simple, fast, and secure with Credit Cards or PayPal. You may also donate directly to the Green Beret Foundation or offline by contacting me directly. If you donate directly to the GBF as part of my fundraising effort, please let me know the amount you donated and I’ll update the total fundraising stats.
Many thanks in advance for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too, Dan

Anyone attempting to donate by Credit/Debit card can wait a few hours, at least. The "enter expiration date" portion of the form is off, starting in the year 2111. I just sent them a note, and I'll post an answer here.

Done
I did not have a problem with the expiration date that plato reported. Maybe just a browser / connection glitch.

Thanks all.

I'll give free shooting lessons (eight hours) to the 100th person that donates.

The folks running the site that is processing the donations are having a small problem with Windows 7.
If you attempt to donate by credit card through the website, and are using Windows 7, you need to turn on the compatibility settings under the "Tools" portion of your tool bar.
Otherwise the expiration year screen offers years "111-121"
They're working to correct that.

I didn't have any problems. Send me your credit card number, expiration date, and number on the back and I'll see what I can do with it.
