Make That 3000 Marines

Reading the forums, the number of marines submitted from the Fighting 13th was updated to 3000 by the end of the day. That would be the entire unit.

Please help us support these troops. Nothing is too big or impossible when the will and strength of many work together. Go to the original post here to find out how you can help support these men and women.

Update: We still have over 1500 Marines left to adopt not including our daily influx of a hundred or more soldiers, sailors, air force and marines from other units.

One Thousand Two Hundred Marines: Urgent Alert for Massive Support

Just in to the forums on Wednesday afternoon:

One Thousand Two Hundred Marines (yes! 1200) [no! make that 3000 as of Thursday afternoon] from the Fighting 13th MEU (Marine Expeditionary Unit) have been submitted to Soldiers' Angels for support.

The Marines may be looking for a few good men, but we are looking for a lot of great citizens who are willing to help support these men and women. Some of these marines are on the fifth deployment in defense of our nation.

We need Angels to adopt as many marines as possible. We need many more patriotic citizens to sign up to become Angels to adopt some fine marines. Please help us support these men and women.

From the Forums: Urgent Need!

In the forums we have an Angel Challenge. An OIF veteran and family are in need of direct, cash assistance to sustain. We are calling for assistance from the greater Angel and military blog community. The challenge is $10.00 (or more) donation from 100 (or more). We have appx 30 in the forum as of this posting.

Part of the story:

SGT O. (age 41) is an E-5 who has a blended family of five children (ages 17, 11, 9, 6, and 2) and his sixth child is due in early August. His wife doesn’t work due to the large family and a high-risk pregnancy (she is 41). SGT O. has been deployed to combat zones four different times (first time was in 1991 for Persian Gulf War, and the last two have been to Iraq). He is being treated for PTSD, Chronic Type,[snip]

He was in situations where he was fired at and had to fire back. He often had to clean blood and human matter out of damaged vehicles, and subsequently developed more serious symptoms

As you might understand, the family is in serious financial straits. We are looking to provide them with enough cash to sustain for at least two months and put a down payment on a vehicle that will carry the entire family.

We need your help.

Please donate to Soldiers' Angels via Pay Pal. Put "Sgt. O" in the note section for your donation.

Or, you can mail a check or money order to Soldiers' Angels at:

Note in the memo section: Sgt. O

Soldiers' Angels thanks you for your support.

MASCAL Alert In Forum: Children Involved

If you don't frequent the forums often, you might miss some special emergent requests.

CSH Unit Ramadi needs children's clothes, diapers, formula, etc.

MASCAL = Mass Casualty. A "MASCAL" is a mass casualty alert, and means that all medics, volunteers and anyone who can help should rush to the CSH to help with the inflow of injured.

Message from Sgt Yurek:

THX YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING YOUVE SENT!

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW WITHOUT GOING TO GRAPHIC DETAIL WE HAD A MASCAL WITH LOTS OF CHILDREN. I HATE TO ASK FOR MORE STUFF BUT I NEED SOME DIAPERS(all sizes infant through 5 year old), CHILDERN CLOTHES ALL SIZES(can be used), BABY BLANKETS, BOTTLES, baby food AND EVEN FORMULA.

You can go to the forum to get the address to send the needed items. If you aren't an angel yet or haven't registered, get to it so we can help these guys out. Or, email KC Soldiers Angels for details.

The Senate and House debate, but the war is still on.
