MARTINSBURG, W.VA. - A card just wasn't going to be enough.


When Robin Johnson of Martinsburg found out that her soon-to-be second cousin through marriage lost three of his limbs while serving in Iraq, she asked what she could do to help.


A nonprofit group called Soldiers' Angels had already been helping the wounded soldier, Sgt. Joseph "Joey" Bozik, of North Carolina. A representative of Soldiers' Angels told Johnson that combat field hospitals overseas need backpacks filled with items like a change of clothes and personal hygiene items for wounded soldiers. The staff members at field hospitals need scrubs, too, Johnson said.
