Wounded in Germany Need Our Help

Message from Patti Patton-Bader, founder of Soldiers' Angels:

Dear Soldiers Angels,

We are in the midst of our fourth deployment, and I know you are all tired, you have been restlessly trying to get supplies to our wounded in The Mid east and Germany and we have been able to help many heroes. Unfortunately we still have many wounded coming in daily and Willie in Germany truly needs your help. Please consider once again gathering all your energy and get needed items to our heroes.

We need
T-shirts large sizes
boxers
socks
microwave food
letters of encouragement
entertainment items
blankets of hope
gifts for the families,

ship to:
21st TSC, Medical Transient Detachment
ATTN: Soldiers' Angels
UNIT 23203
APO AE 09263

If you need a donation receipt just email me

Thank you all for without our collaborative efforts we could not reach as many heroes,

Patti

Quote of the Day
"The war on terror is not a figure of speech.
It is an inescapable calling of our generation.
The terrorists are offended not merely by our policies -
they are offended by our existence as free nations."

-- George W. Bush
