Dear friends and supporters,
About a week ago I received a special request from the NJ State VFW and the NJ National Guard (NJNG). Due to missile fire onto several Bases controlled by our troops in Iraq and Syria, a number of NJNG troops were wounded, and some of the mail sent to them may have been lost. They put out a list of items they wanted to send right away. Fortunately I was able to provide many of these items, in part through the generosity of the company "Big Lots", and numerous generous individuals. Even though this was a State wide collection effort, we were able to make a very generous contribution. The nice part for me is that the VFW and NJNG are taking care of any shipping expenses. With our young men and women in uniform under increased pressure at many overseas locations, the items of support we are able to provide do seem to make a difference.
Because of the items being requested for this special mailing, I have modified the list of items being requested. Thanks to everyone involved for your support and generosity.
Lloyd
