Landstuhl Regional Medical Center received over 7,000 sick and injured warriors in 2011. Soldiers' Angels again distributed over $300,000 worth of supplies to our Wounded Warriors, including over 2600 sets of sweats, 5000 t-shirts, underwear, and socks, 1000lbs of personal care items, over 3000 hand made blankets, 3500 phone cards, and much more.
Receiving comfort items as donations from fellow Americans back home provides a level of personal support that has a very positive impact on a patient's morale, and therefore on the recovery process. Your support is needed and very much appreciated!
