Got this from my friend on deployment on the USS Port Royal. Maybe it would be a good thing to send some stuff to them with any left over money from the MikeD drive?
Red Cross Needs Assistance for Wounded Soldiers
The American Red Cross at Walter Reed Army Medical Center is looking for incidentals/comfort items for sick and wounded Armed Forces Personnel now recuperating at the hospital. When someone is stationed in Iraq, Afghanistan or elsewhere and is wounded or falls ill, they are immediately
evacuated, and it can take weeks for their personnel effects to catch up with them. The Red Cross is asking for donations of any of the following:
- telephone cards of at least 30 minutes
- rolling luggage (small), totes, carry-ons
- individually wrapped snacks
- magazines
- notepads, pens
- playing cards and games
- sweat pants and shirts (all sizes)
All items should be addressed to:
ATTN: Barbara Green,
American Red Cross
Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Ave, N.W.,
Washington, DC 20307-5001.
