The good folks at Soldiers Angels have a request. The group puts together backpacks for wounded troops. These bags contain some immediate personal need items that aren't otherwise on hand for someone who's been rapidly evacuated from a combat zone. I received this email from them today:
We are having a great deal of luck putting the back packs together. But a couple of things are falling short. Back packs or the money to buy them and undershorts. We have 30,000 items to put in the back packs tolietries,t-shirts,girl scout cookies 2000 T-shirts,Vfw donated 2000 postcards good for a phone card 200,000cards and letters.We are waiting to here back from a company who said they could donate 2000 scub bottoms. DHL is paying the shipping the and the are being put together at the Nascar event with John Michael Montgomery singing. Do you think you could post somthing and maybe get The Milbloggers also to help raise the underwear and backpack or cash? We truly need help.In all the talk of progress in Iraq we must not forget that GIs are still fighting, dying, and being wounded over there. Here's a great way to do more than just say thanks.
I've had a long online acquaintance with these folks - and I can testify that their efforts ensured everyone I was deployed with (several hundred people) each got at least one Christmas gift last year. Many other units benefited from their generosity too - the Soldier's Angels team are indeed Angels.
Anyone who can help please visit Soldier's Angels and do what you can for America's heroes.
