 Items Requested for

Wounded Troops in Iraq

The Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs has been informed by service members oversees that there is a need for certain items for wounded troops in Iraq. There is a great need for women’s undergarments and undershirts, especially women’s bras that have snaps or hooks, all sizes, no sports bras. T-shirts or undershirts for women in all sizes are needed. Also needed are sweatshirts or light jackets, for men and women, zipper or button front, not pullover, and loose fitting drawstring or elastic pants or sweat pants. All clothing items must be new. Service members waiting for transport said they also wouldn't mind some xbox or playstation games and equipment, even used, because at times they have a little waiting time before their flight out. Thank you for your supporting our troops.
