I received this note from my daughter in Germany. I thought if any of you ladies have the time or inclination, you might make up some home made decorations to send to this project. I will get the address from my daughter to mail these decorations to. I plan to make some crocheted snowflakes & bead bells myself.

Greetings,
This year we are continuing a program entitled 'Trees for Troops'. This
program provides Christmas Trees and decorations for every room in the
Trauma Ward (MTD) at Landsthul Hospital as well as several events (concerts,
etc.) to bring Holiday Cheer to our brothers in arms who are far from home.
These Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines can sometimes stay at the MTD
for extended periods of time as they receive treatment and recover from
their battlefield injuries.
As you know, this time of year is particularly difficult for those isolated
from family, and far away from home. To help support our combat brethren,
we need your help in many ways!
We are currently in need of:
-80 Christmas Trees around Three feet tall (anything from a tabletop
tree on up)
-Decorations, decorations, decorations (there are a lot of hallways and
common areas that can use Holiday Cheer!)
-Someone artistically inclined to design simple signs/banners for
distribution
-Handmade Garland strands of any type (popcorn, cranberry, flower)
-Small handmade ornaments (this year we will only be accepting
handmade ornaments)
-Handwritten Christmas Cards, letters and notes
-POC's to be leaders in their areas to help collect donations
-Volunteers willing to show up and decorate and distribute trees and
help with events
-Leaders willing to take charge and help out in a variety of areas
-People stateside to work with their Sq/Base organizations to get
letters, decorations, etc.
If you are interested in donating your time, treasures or talents to this
project please e-mail TSgt Mark Tilsher at mark.tilsher@ramstein.af.mil.

Thanks in advance for all of your support!
Have a great day.

Must be a slow day--I'd expected you to have some feedback by now--maybe my post will keep the idea high enough in the list to show some interest.
I'm game for it--but imagine how much things would be if we could get a bunch of folks from this forum to send letters of support as well as ornaments etc.

I gave the website to a woman I work with who is very into crafts. She also has a grandson over in Afghanastan. I won't see her again till Tuesday. I'll bet she will want to get involved. I'll keep you posted.

I will get the address from my daughter. It will be APO so the postage will be just for sending it to SanFrancisco.

I emailed my daughter tonight to send me the address. Sorry I haven't done it sooner. Been busy but that sounds just like an excuse & DH hates excuses so I try not to use them.
