National Guard Liaison Office at Landstuhl loves Soldiers’ Angels!

In June, Soldiers’ Angels received this message from MAJ H., an ARNG Liaison Officer at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany:

I am the Army National Guard Liaison Officer at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center.
I am trying to obtain a supply of phone cards to give to soldier casualties who are evacuated to the hospital here. I generally go through about 35 phone cards each week. I have a week's supply left in my office. National Guard Bureau sent me over here with an initial supply, but after 8 weeks they are running out.


I can use any number of phone cards you care to donate.


That’s all Soldiers’ Angels needed to hear! The message was forwarded to Angel Willie in Germany, who made sure 20 Phone Cards were rushed to MAJ H. by fellow Angel Nita.
Since then, Soldiers’ Angels Germany have continued to support MAJ H.


Just received four plastic tubs of Hot Vanilla Drink Mix and 8 Pounds of coffee in the mail today!
Since the coffee is in one pound packages, and the soldiers have no coffee makers, I am running the “coffee service” in the ICU, and Wards 8D, 10C, 10D, and 13D along with the waiting room at the Deployed Warrior Medical Management Center.


This way the coffee gets shared by the wounded soldiers and the people who care for them.


Your organization is superb.


Thanks Again,

MAJ H.




Thank you and HOOAH!! to The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and Minimus.biz, a Soldiers’ Angels partner since 2004 (See “Successful Partnership Between a Profit and a Non-Profit Company”), and to all Angels and Friends who have made donations for Phone Cards!!


Received 60 phone cards today in the mail from the Soldiers Angels. Also received another 16 pounds of coffee.Thanks again.


First of all, I want to thank you for the great support you have given us in the form of the Soldiers’ Angel Backpacks. To date we have issued 17 filled backpacks to arriving inpatient soldiers. I have also provided twenty empty backpacks to the chaplain’s closet to cover a period when they ran out of duffel bags.


Soldiers really appreciate the thoughtfulness that goes in to filling and providing one of the backpacks! Thanks again for your thoughtfulness and support. One soldier recently told me that if it were not for the backpack and its contents he would have had to go naked for the weekend until he could have gotten off the ward and down to the chaplain’s closet.


Thank you!

MAJ H.

Although most ambulatory patients are able to go to LRMC facilities such as the Chaplain’s Closet and select donated items they need, many inpatients are not. These inpatients are bare brought items by Chaplains and Liaison Officers such as MAJ H.


Please support our continuing efforts to provide Transitional Backpacks for our wounded Heroes who are inpatients at Landstuhl Hospital. EMail Willie if you would like to help.
