FYI

This message is forwarded as an urgent request!

Not only is Balboa Naval Hospital receiving our injured heroes but the medical facilities at Camp Pendleton are also at near No Vacancy populations. In the latter case it's not money that is needed for our wounded Marines at Pendleton but stuff.

Here's why and what they need:

At the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom, some of the spouses of the deployed Marines put together hundreds of recovery baskets in anticipation of wounded Marines arriving at our military hospitals. The purpose behind these baskets was to provide the wounded with personal items to be used during their hospital stay and to help fill up their days while being confined in the hospitals. However, due to the higher than anticipated numbers of wounded, they are all but out of the supplies to outfit these baskets.

They are in need of the following items:


nonperishable food (snacks and candy),
DVDs,
all sizes of batteries,
phone cards,
Game Boy games,
books and magazines,
Domino's Pizza gift certificates (they deliver on base),
towels and wash cloths,
and hygiene gear (razors and shaving cream).

These items can be sent to

Office of the Division Inspector,
1st Marine Division Rein FMF, Bldg 1413 Room 200,
Box 555380,
Camp Pendleton, CA 92055-5380.
