An appeal…

...from Angela Boskowitz of Democrats Abroad in Frankfurt, Germany, via John McCreery at Best Of The Blogs...

...Per my direct conversations with the Chaplain, the Chaplain’s Closet
is in dire need of phone cards. The need is URGENT. The first thing
everyone wants to do when they get to the Hospital is to call their
wives, mothers and children and let them know they’re ok. There is no
open, cost free telephone line at the hospital and our wounded need
phone cards to be able to make these important calls.

The phone cards should be American. They can be purchased in 120-
minute formats from drug stores and supermarkets anywhere in the US.
They may be purchased at PX’s worldwide.

The phone cards can be collected and sent in large envelopes to
Landstuhl Hospital which has a US Address, reducing the postage
costs. I ask that people send them directly to the Hospital instead
of coordinating with me because the need is more urgent than my
monthly trips can meet. Feel free to include personalized letters/cards.

Something for my Army, instead of to it.

Good idea.
