Tsunami Relief Final Report
As of April 20, 2005 the final numbers are in on Tsunami Relief from the United States. Special thanks to Chuck at You Big Mouth, You! who has steadfastly kept track of all the Internet references he could find regarding Tsunami donations. The final total... $1,030,714,108.34 US donated by Americans for Tsunami Relief.
Click here The Stingy List [PDF] to see the details.
And as thorough as Chuck has been... I'm sure he probably missed a few. And remember, his numbers don't include what was given by the U.S. government as OFFICIAL aid, or what the Pentagon gave in terms of support through deployment of aircraft carriers, other vessels and military personnel.
Are we Americans stingy or what?

A trillion dollars? Impressive.
How'd the other "civilized" nations compare?
(As if I didn't know...)
Sorry camo...
Just a billion, not a trillion. But still pretty darned good for the private sector.
"Just" a billion dollars, huh?
(Too much for me to imagine)
I wish I had "just" a billion...
camo,
I don't know... I'm not sure I could handle a billion dollars. I'd probably turn into some kinda "Jerk" or somethin'.
Kajun,
Keep 'em comin'... you are too funny! (he said snickering in the background)

If I had a billion dollars, I could afford to be camojerk...or somethin'.
One could say it was a flood of support, or a groundswell, or waves of relief...
Oh, forget it.
beerme,
I think I get your "drift". But how 'bout if we just leave it at... a great deal of giving.
(:D)
