OPERATION COMFORT (WOUNDED WARRIORS)

"OPERATION COMFORT" QUILTS FOR WOUNDED WARRIORS WAS THOUGHT UP BY PARISHIONER SUSAN MARENGO (US MARINE MOM) WHO, A QUILTER HERSELF, SAID WE CAN GET INVOLVED IN AN ACTIVE WAY TO SUPPORT OUR WOUNDED MILITARY WITH THE HELP OF OTHER QUILTERS AND NON QUILTERS. IN TOTAL TRINITY HAS 4 ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY, 2 US MARINES, 1 ARMY AND 1 AIR FORCE, THREE ARE CURRENTY DEPLOYED IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND THE 4TH WILL BE DEPLOYED MID NOVEMBER 2008.

"OPERATION COMPFORT" PROVIDES QUILTS TO OUR WOUNDED HERO'S IN LANDSTUL REGIONAL MEDICAL FACILITY IN GERMANY. LANDSTUL TAKES AMERICAN AND ALLIED WOUNDED FROM THE MIDDLE EAST AND EUROPE, MOST WOUNDED ARRIVE WITH NO PERSONAL POSSESSTIONS AND SOME MISSING THEIR CLOTHES, A QUILT MADE AND SENT FROM HOME CAN DO WONDERS FOR MORALE.

OUR START UP FUNDS CAME FROM THE BLUE WATER CONVOCATION AND HAVE BEEN LONG SINCE SPENT, WE NOW RELY ON THE GOOD WILL OF THE COMMUNITY. QUILTERS FROM AREA GROUPS AND THE LOCAL COMMUNITY COME TOGETHER WITH THEIR EQUIPMENT AND DONATED FABRIC TO MAKE THE HERO'S QUILTS.

PER THE REQUEST OF THE CHAPLAINS AT LANDSTUL WHO DISTRIBUTE THE QUILTS, THEY NEED TO BE TWIN SIZE AND PATRIOTIC IN NATURE. INCLUDED WITH THE QUILTS IS A LABEL CARD WITH A PRAYER AND AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF WHERE THE QUILTS COME FROM. THE QUILTS ARE THE HERO'S TO KEEP AND WE HAVE HEARD OF HOW WELL RECEIVED THE EFFORT HAS BEEN.

BLUE STAR MOTHERS OF AMERICA, INC., BLUE WATER CHAPTER 180 HAVE PAID FOR THE SHIPPING TO LANSTUL. THE QUILTS WILL CONTINUE TO BE MADE AS LONG AS WE HAVE WOUNDED HERO'S WHO NEED A PIECE OF HOME TO COMFORT THEM. THUS FAR 30 QUILTS HAVE BEEN SENT ABROAD SINCE JUNE 2008.
