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.
Below is a link to the project from last year:

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

Great Idea!!! Perhaps there might be a wider audience of interest if you post it on Club OG--it gets many more hits than the craft forum--and there's already a post about an ornament exchange between members. And I, for one, wouldn't mind posts to include OTF and New Gardeners--it's a worthy cause and most of us support our troops regardless of politics.

Thanks Wiley, I'll try that.

Yes, I agree with you!

Great idea but not the place that gets the most hits.

I would love to make some ornaments for this soon...just gotta squeeze some time in, but I will!

I will be looking for your "where to send" info, Wanda. Great cause and Good luck!

Was this post relocated?

I have had limited time on here...please redirect me if possible.

I listed this post in the club og but I didn't get responses so I didn't put the address in. If you are interested, email me at wandago at sbcglobal dot net. I will give you the address to send the crafts.
