I will pack a box full of these items and mail them immediately
I don't understand something, you mean the base there does not reissue uniforms,boots and coats?
help our troops **ping**
I'll send them a check! I'll pass this info along to friends and family.
This is great. The US is such a cool country. Also there is the Wounded Warrior project which provides wounded soldiers and marines with lots of stuff. Tony Snow has links on his website on FOX news.
I love a good cause.
Landstuhl Regional Medical Center Needs
Pastoral Services Department
US HOSPITAL, CMR 402, APO AE 09180
Pastoral Services here at LRMC is dedicated to helping fulfill the mission of our hospital, caring for America's Sons and Daughters.
One facet of our care is supplying our patients with clothing and shoes and personal products which will make their stay here more comfortable. Many of our soldiers come to us with no clothing other than the hospital garments that they're wearing.
Many people and groups are helping us with this task. We thank you for your interest. Your support and willingness to come to their aid will touch many hearts. Following please find a list of our needs and areas where you can help.
PLEASE NOTE: We can only accept new items.
One of the easiest ways to receive your gift is a cash contribution. This can be accomplished by sending us a check made out to "USAREUR Chaplains fund" and sent to the above address. Your funds will be deposited and used to purchase clothing, shoes, and personal items needed to care for our patients here at LRMC.
The shoe sizes most often used for our patients are:
Men's - 9 to 12
Women's - 6 to 9
During the winter we distribute jackets, medium through extra large.
We distribute ruck sacks, gym bags, and small suitcases for clothing storage.
Video Discs (DVD's). We put these out in the wards for the soldiers to watch while in the hospital.
For more information, please feel free to contact our Pastoral Services secretary or our NCOIC at DSN 486-8143 or COMMERICIAL 06371-86-8399

A worthy cause
Bttt.
My hubby was lucky when he was at Landstuhl. He was able to get to the px and use his voucher. He even took a fellow patient(in a wheelchair) with him. If they have volunteers, why can't they do the shopping for these patients?
Will pass this on asap and send a donation today. Sending a card out today too for baby Shane Kielion, Jr. (Soldier Killed Day Son is Born: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1282809/posts) I'd share what the card says, but don't feel like crying again right now. :)
Technically, the holidays have started and my heart is with our servicemen/women all over the world & their families who are sacrificing so much for us all.
Oh, and reading all these posts, I can see that you guys represent all that's good with this country. Proud to be associated with you.
