Please remember the Veterans in hospitals and Veterans Homes, also. Then there are the Wounded Warriors and children of Fallen Heroes. You can contact the chaplains at any of the Military Hospitals, Reserve Units in your area, and of course the Public Affairs Officers at any base in your state to get Chaplains phone numbers to get a unit in need.
There are lots of units and about to be 30,000 (8,000 from my area) more in Afghanistan alone. There are military in many foreign countries that have no one to remind them we care about them.
I appreciate everyone of you that try to help in any way. There are so many different people that want to help but don't know where to go. Put them in contact with me, I'll get them addresses of Chaplains.
I just got a box of 100 little candy canes to mail to Jim to give his "guys", they love the little things that show a touch of home. Course I made him his own stocking and filled it. CDs of country music, or any music cause they trade around, dvds....if you have some that you're tired of, package and send them. Lots of things except, no pork or pork products, no alcohol, no tobacco products, or religious material.
Thank you from the whole of my heart!
