Ladies & gentlemen, I have more than a few close friends & relatives serving in the Giant Sandbox we have all known for several years... Forgive me if this has been posted/suggested recently.
The U.S. G.I. hospitals in Afghanistan are looking for donations of clothing Etc. I can post the letter I have received, but the Federal Seals will not copy for obvious reasons... So here it is, any help would be GREATLY appreciated. If someone want's the Official Letter, I will forward it.

Thank you for the time, effort & space to post this.

Letter following:


Dear Sir/Ma�am,

Each month an average of 250 wounded soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines come to Craig Joint Theater Hospital for medical care. In addition to their medical issues, most of these military members have very little extra clothing, toiletries, etc. Supplies are sorely needed for these men and women. We have an ample supply of socks and underwear for men, but have needs in other areas. I have included a list of suggested items that would greatly increase the comfort of our wounded warriors. Anything that is donated will go directly to our patients and will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for any assistance that you can provide.

Very Respectfully,
Capt Melissa K Holden
