Thanks so much for this information. So often, I think people want to DO SOMETHING but just don’t know where to start. My family will be sending a package and I am going to forward this info to my Bible Study group and a play group. Your blog is very important! Keep up the great work!

Thank you for this idea! We’ll be sending out at least one package. My husband is in Afghanistan but says that he doesn’t “need” anything. We feel like we should be doing more so this is very helpful! Thanks for being such a great motivator, your ideas for getting involved in various projects are wonderful.

And a great big THANK YOU for your Wild Olive giveaway– I won and am so looking forward to getting my Tee. What an unexpected treat to put a smile on my face during a trying time!

My youngest son (Cade, 20 months old) was born at Landstuhl. There were many OB appointments where I left the hospital in tears… You see, one of the “main” (meaning convenient to parking) entrances to the hospital is the ER. When the wounded soldiers come in, they are brought in through the ER. I would beam with pride for these soldiers as I walked past their beds or wheel chairs that lined the hall… I’d smile and want so badly to reach out and hug them; the bandages kept me away, in fear I’d hurt them. But I’d smile and say hello, and tell them thank you.
They’d always, always smile back.
And I know they felt my hug anyway.

Thank you for this post. Thank you for thinking about our soldiers.
My family will be joining in with you… But we’ll hand deliver our donations.

You can count on my family to send at least 1 flat rate box.

Just so that I know exactly what I’m getting, do the sneakers and sweatsuits need to be new or can I send used ones that are in good shape that I might find at the local yard sales this weekend??
