2005
Eagles Warmth Project (Ongoing in 2006)
The
2005 Eagles Warmth Project is designated
to benefit wounded US Armed Forces Troops from Iraq &
Afghanistan during the upcoming 2005 Christmas Holiday/Yuletide
Season.
When US Troops
are wounded in action in Iraq or Afghanistan, they are airlifted
by helicopter or rushed by land transport to nearby MASH units
and/or USAF Aeromedical Field Hospitals before they are airlifted
to military hospitals in Europe or the mainland United States.
During their stay at the MASH or Aeromedical units they are
placed on beds under a sheet or blanket sometimes wearing
only hospital gowns. This makes the lengthy journey out of
Iraq or Afghanistan sometimes cold and uncomfortable.
The 2005
Eagles Warmth Project is seeking to remedy this
situation and provide warmth and dignity and a measure of
sustainable comfort for those who are wounded. We are seeking
to attain donated sweat pants, sweat shirts, and warm socks
for our wounded troops.
Please
understand we are not seeking monetary or any type of financial
donations. Operation:Eagle *does not* accept
monetary donations and will have to return any sent immediately.
We are accepting
donations of sweat pants, sweat shirts (sizes L/XL) and socks
(size Large). We hope to have 4500 pairs of sweats donated
to provide for our wounded troops on site in Iraq and Afghanistan.
As Director
of Operation:Eagle, I hope that you can help
us get the word out across the USA to those who support the
troops and may be interested in participating in this volunteer
project during the holiday season. All donations can be sent
to the main Operation:Eagle mailing address
on the Contact page of this website.
Thank
you for considering promoting and participating in the 2005
Eagles Warmth Project!
Eagles
Wings Project
Operation:Eagle
is always looking to help contribute books of US Postage Stamps
and Phone Calling Cards to troops overseas and in military
and/or veterans hospitals. Also, support posters and banners
are welcomed, especially by school-age children all across
America. The posters & banners find their way overseas
to military ships & units across the globe to help lift
the morale & spirit of those serving in the Armed Forces.
This is
an ongoing effort that you can participate in on a regular
basis. To contribute to this effort, please use the mailing
address on the Contact page or
email us for additional information.
Eagles
Voice Sunday
Churches,
synagogues, and religious organizations across the USA are
invited to hold special prayers during their services on behalf
of the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Normally these are
encouraged and included on national holidays such as Veterans
Day, Memorial Day, and Independence Day.
Operation:Eagle
invites all clergy and churches and synagogues all across
the USA to consider holding an Eagles Voice Sunday
prayer time in 2005/2006 on behalf of the troops and their
families. Our military men & women stand "in harm's
way" defending freedom and liberty. They are entrusted
with mighty weapons and instruments awesome in power that
are used to protect and preserve our freedom.
In over
two decades of service and volunteerism and through continual
interaction and correspondence with our troops and their families,
the most requested means of support that they themselves desire
is first & foremost that of prayer in their behalf and
on behalf of their families back home.
A Gunnery
Sergeant in the USMC once told Operation:Eagle
that "Prayer is the mightiest weapon in the arsenal of
freedom." Consider an Eagles Voice Sunday
at your fellowship on behalf of the troops and their families.
