Hi all, I thought I'd put in another plea for cards for the troops. My group
operation:quiet comfort (
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/operationquietcomfort/ helps our wounded troops by making quilts out of old blue jeans (cut into squares and signed by groups) and making transition bags filled with personal care and comfort items. These are sent to the field hospitals (We have contacts at each one) and given to those soldiers who arrive before getting transferred to a hospital in the states. We include, among many items, in the bags get well cards, blank cards for the soldiers to send out and patriotic cards thanking them. I know that there are a few requests on these forums for cards and I make cards for them too. If anyone wants to help you can send your cards to:
Operation:Quiet Comfort
PO Box 263
La Salle, MI 48145
Thanks so much. We are trying to reach a goal of 100 "Go bags" a month and for each bag we would like to place at least 3 cards.
