Trees for Troops 2014- Needs your Help!





Join us in our 7th year for TREES FOR TROOPS! 



This year we will continue our tradition of putting a Christmas Tree into every Wounded Warriors room, as well as throughout the hospitals common areas DEC 6th 2014. Sign up here. (Please see note at the bottom for coming to the location)  We will also be decorating the halls and the main lobbies and sending our elves (grade school children) door to door to hand out candy canes and spread Christmas cheer.  Finally, if we gather enough Christmas stockings we will hang them for the Warriors as well.

Please let us know if you would like to donate to our program!  We are also in need of volunteers to spread the message and collect donations.

Many people all over the world would love to bless the Wounded Warriors at Landstuhl if they knew how.

Please feel free to pass this on to your children’s teachers, church groups, scout troops, booster clubs, professional organizations, friends and family.
