Warm Love

This winter, if you have some time to go through the coat closet, attic, kids rooms... or if you want to pick up a new hobby and start knitting, collect some hats, scarves, gloves, socks, even old and unworn coats and send them out to the troops.

When our soldiers can provide warmth to children in Afghanistan and Iraq, they earn the love and trust of village children and solidify our commitment to helping to protect the people of these war-torn countries.

If you'd like to donate items, I have troops in Afghanistan & Iraq that have requested these items. I am collecting winter clothing and cold-weather items. 
Please email me: WhitneysArmyBlog@gmail.com if you can donate items!
