"WOUNDED HERO" BACKPACKS IN IRAQ

I was planning to post a different blog entry today, but this morning we received a bunch of photos that compelled me to post something different. As you may or may not be aware (see previous posts), we work a lot with the non-profit Soldiers' Angels organization -- they 'adopt' troops stationed overseas and send them regular care packages. We've created a whole line of inexpensive care packages along with them and their soldier donees. We've received many heartwarming letters back from the soldiers -- some of which we put on our store site HERE.

Soldiers' Angels has created something they call the "wounded hero" backpack. It is an actual backpack filled with various toiletries, clothes, and a handwoven blanket made by their volunteers around the country. We supply the toiletries to the backpack and provide fulfillment services to assemble them, package them, and ship them to Iraq. All of the backpacks are supported by donations (that can be made on the Soldiers' Angels site directly through this LINK).

Today we received a great letter from one of the Combat Support Hospitals in Iraq giving thanks for this wonderful program. They sent along some photos and I've posted one of them below:
