Have been to the site to look and read but haven't posted lately as we just moved from Texas to Florida. Looking forward to volunteering for the next election and let them try to intimidate me.

Anyway, I just got off the phone with the founder of Soldiers Angels. They are in the middle of a new deployment and are desperate for new volunteers. First is individuals who want to adopt a soldier. The second is if anyone is associated with a church or organization that can help two separate but large units who are asking for help as a whole group.

If anyone can help, please contact:

I picked up two more soldiers myself. Thanks for this site in helping put out the call to help our wonderful men and women serving this Country.

Thank you to all who help, right now we have 204 heroes waiting to be adopted,

Bumping to keep this alive. By the way, there are some soldiers who just want a pen pal if it is financially hard to adopt a soldier. I know Patti read to me a letter from a person who had good family support for items and just wanted someone else to write to. If you have a friend or relative who has been thinking about doing this, pass it on.


Thanks for all the support you already do. I know many of you have adopted one or two already.

Going to bump this again. Hope you don't mind.

thank you Stevie,
we just got a MSGT in whose building burned, soldiers lost all their gear..
looking for emregency supplies
Last night there was a fire onour FOB. One of the buildings that
housed another unit was completely destroyed. Thankfully there were no serious
injuries and everyone was able to get out ontime. The problem is that the majority
of the soldiers were only able to get outwith the clothes theywere wearing to sleep in.
They lost all of their militarygear as well as their personal items. We have taken up a collection on our ownand have started providing personal hygiene items etc. that we have on hand. Wewould like to request that if anyone has anything that they would like to havedelivered to help these soldiers out to please send it. We will ensure that itis delivered to them immediately.
If you can help please email Eileen

We are a medical unit supporting 16,000 soldiers and civilians. Our unit is based in San Antonio TX and have active, National Guard, and reserve soldiers from all over the country. We live in buildings in ply wood rooms with 220 and some 110-volt electricity. Some have acquired beds some still sleep on cots. We have acquired some tools and wood to improve our living conditions. We remolded a 15,000 sq ft building and made semi private two person rooms for 107 of us. I went around the hospital and asked soldiers what they wanted or needed and the following is the list: things to decorate the wards and living areas, art supplies and party favorites for the holidays, air fresheners, Uniden two way radios that are blue and black in color and have a red boost talk button. Snack foods, moon pies, beef jerky, cheese nips, chewy granola bars, raisins, trail mix, DVD movies, hygiene products, battery operated hand tools, framing hammers, speed squares, tape measures, carpenters pencils, 16 penny nails, 1” sheetrock screws, hand soap, magazines (popular mechanics and popular science), mouth wash, sports equipment, dove body wash (place duct on the cap), stick deodorant, big blow up swimming pool, Tupperware containers (medium, and large), electric fans, mach 3 razors, large trash bags, toilet paper, dandruff shampoo, white ankle socks, flat toe nail clippers, coffee cups with lids, pillow cases, hair clippers, alarm clocks, memory sticks for cameras, small vacuum cleaners, sunglasses, bath towels and wash cloths, facial tissues (box), twin size sheet sets (old or new), febreeze, sunglasses, frisbees. The females of the unit have asked for pumice stones, manicure kits, eyebrow tweezers (the good kind), vagasil power, panty liners, summers eve wash.God Bless
