Holidays for Marines in Afghanistan

I am proud to have a son ( Captain Adam Campbell) serving in the USMC  in Kandahar Afghanistan.  Adam advised that with the holidays approaching the best things to send to the troops  are Phone cards , SKYPE cards and Itune cards. Adam advised that he would disperse any cards to enlisted Marines wishing to call home for the holidays.  My son is a Harrier Pilot assigned to VMA 231.  This squadron has over 200 marines in Kandahar.  VMA 231 is charged with flying close air support (CAS) for the united troops serving in Afghanistan.  VMA 231 is due to return the beginning of summer 2010.  I encourage any one who wishes to donate cards to the marines to write a quick note that can be sent with your gift.

Many of you have already donated DVD’s to the marines. To date we have sent over 500 DVD’s to Afghanistan.  These are in a central location for all to check out. DVD’s are still being accepted by Belmar Recreation and sent to Afghanistan.

Thank you for all you do for our brave Men and Women serving so far from home.

Pajamas for our troops

The Boroughs of Belmar and Lake Como are working together in partnership with New Jersey Natural Gas to collect pajamas for our hospitalized troops in Iraq.

Our troops who are hospitalized in Iraq are provided with hospital gowns, but not pajamas. The “Pajamas for our Troops” campaign is an effort to help make these soldiers a little more comfortable during their convalescence. The pajamas we collect will be sent to a forward area hospital in Iraq. Drop-off containers are located in Belmar’s Borough Hall (in the lobby at the Sixth Ave entrance) and at the Taylor Pavilion.

The “Pajamas for our Troops” campaign is a great way to let our troops know that we are thinking of them. Please only donate new pajamas, for both male and female soldiers. We will need a variety of sizes.

Please help us help our troops.
