We reported earlier about 1LT Rebrook, who was wounded in Iraq, and when separating out of active duty, was billed $700 for "losing" his body armor, which was removed by medics and apparently burned as hazardous medical waste.

Donations have poured in, and the charity cup is overflowing.

UPDATE: We've collected well over $5,000. So, I'm pulling the plug on the links to donate. Thanks so much guys. I'm contacting the service member now, have his phone number, to let him know. I'm going to suggest it might be nice to share the money with other service members he knows have faced the same problem.

Thanks to all who helped. I'm "reasonably" confident very few Republicans bothered to donate anything.

I'm proud of all of you.
