Red Cross Needs Assistance for Wounded Soldiers

The American Red Cross at Walter Reed Army Medical Center is looking for incidentals/comfort items for sick and wounded Armed Forces Personnel now recuperating at the hospital. When someone is stationed in Iraq, Afghanistan or elsewhere and is wounded or falls ill, they are immediately evacuated, and it can take weeks for their personnel effects to catch up with them. The Red Cross is asking for donations of any of the following:

telephone cards of at least 30 minutes
rolling luggage (small), totes, carry-ons
individually wrapped snacks
magazines
notepads, pens
playing cards and games
sweat pants and shirts (all sizes)

All items should be addressed to:

Barbara Green, American Red Cross
Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Ave, N.W.,
Washington, DC 20307-5001

Checks should be made out to the American Red Cross. For more information, call (202) 782-2080 or

e-mail Barbara.Green.1@AMEDD.army.mil. For more information, see Military.com's section on the Red
Cross.

also, I'd suggest donations of stationery and postage stamps, "Walkman" type devices, etc..
