Here are almost 800 field and hospital pillows ready to be shipped. Fifty fleece pillows are headed to the Role 3 MMU in Kandahar, 75 are headed to Landstuhl, and almost 900 ACU field pillows will be shipped to soldiers from Virginia.

I spoke to the Churchland Lions Club a few weeks back, and had the chance to talk to a Virginia National Guard dad. He told me his son, along with nearly 1,000 of his closest buddies, is headed to Iraq for a year, and asked if Operation PFP would ship the Guardsmen field pillows. Of course we will!

During the latest sew-ins at Church of the Resurrection and the Beazley Senior Center (both in Portsmouth) we made nearly enough field pillows for every Guardsman from Virginia. The next sew-in is scheduled in 2 weeks, and there won’t be any problem at all finishing enough for all these soldiers.
