Operation "Support Our Troops"

May-29-2004 » Filed Under: Homefront , Mail & Care Packages

A couple weeks ago we linked to an article about a VFW post in Michigan that, along with a project manager for the Stryker Brigade Combat Team, decided to adopt the Stryker Brigade. Keith Whitten, the project manager, sent us an email yesterday to give us an update on the group's progress. To date Support Our Troops has shipped 1,848 pounds of goods, which are now en route to the brigade from Germany. Keith said he would forward photos of the donations arriving in Iraq.

This is an ongoing effort so if you happen to live near St. Clair Shores or Warren, Michigan and would like to get involved, we've provided contact information below. Thank you Support Our Troops for your efforts, they are much appreciated.

Al Galdys (algleg at aol.com) - Project coordinator

Rob Adkins (Suzanne.Adkins at sbcglobal.net) - Project coordinator

Both are with the Men's Auxiliary 1146 to the VFW Cpl. Walter F. Bruce Post in St. Clair Shores. You can also call the VFW post directly at (586) 778-1146.

UPDATE: Keith also sent some photos of the goods before shipment, which I will put in an album soon so you can all see.
