Last Week, someone asked me the question, "What is the most memorable place you've ever been?" For me, it occured on July 5, 1995. I know the exact date, because it was the day after my 18th birthday. The place: Dachau Nazi Concentration Camp.
(Survivors on Liberation Day: April 29, 1945)

Families are having a hard time coping monetarily with today's sliding economy, but what about the homeless animals in shelters around the country? Who is feeding them?
Sam's Club will donate a bowl of food to a homeless dog everytime someone takes this short survey. There are only 3 questions from drop down menus. Take it as many times as you have time for and PLEASE post this link on your site and email it to your friends. This can be your good deed for the day.
