Teacher. Provider. Mentor. Protector. Moral Compass. Disciplinarian. Confidante. Friend.

These are just a few of the roles a father plays. This year instead of short-changing dad with another funky tie to crowd the closet, or cologne that he will never open, send him an e-card that will help sponsor an Iraqi child wounded by war. for surgery. You can honor the man who taught you how to throw a baseball or drove you to ballet lessons by providing security, health, and love to a child whose father was unable to protect his son due to war.
