Following the
America Supports You Freedom Walk in
September, LHCP was given surplus t-shirts to
distribute to troops overseas and to veterans at
home.
Budget
Truck Rental headquarters donated the use of a
truck,
and t-shirts were delivered to LHCP headquarters for
shipment overseas, to American Legions in Virginia
for distribution to VA facilities and groups, and to
homeless veterans assisted by Operation Stand Down
in Alabama.
From
one of our medical contacts in Iraq we heard, “ the
‘America
Supports You’ t-shirts came in right after Veteran's
Day, so we gave them out to everyone we saw in
support of that day. Troops were impressed and
tickled.”
From
a VA facility in Virginia, we received a letter
stating:
“The
entire staff of this hospital
wishes to thank you for the donation of the
following: 21 boxes of "T" shirts-72 per box @$4
each total Value of $6,048.00 [LHCP does not
determine the value of items donated. This value was
determined by the VA
hospital.]
Everything
that is done to benefit the veterans at Hunter
Holmes McGuire VAMC is greatly appreciated by the
patients, the entire staff, and the volunteers. Mere
words cannot express how much your donations mean to
the patients!”
Our
ability to distribute these surplus t-shirts in a
timely
manner is another way LHCP supports our deployed
troops and stateside veterans.
