HELPING
our Armed Forces
If you would like
to participate
in helping our brave armed forces personel, please be sure to make hats
large enought to fit a man's head. The ground troops need darker, muted
colors, chamo, browns, blacks, grays, navy. Using a warm,
lightweight
yarn like Woolese Sport is good since the hats can be stuffed
into
a pocket, or will fit under a helmet. Slippers of ALL colors--
bright,
fun ones too, double yarn, are welcomed with open arms! Please do
NOT double yarn for warmth on hats! These are too bulky to be
worn under helmets. Doubled yarn on Slippers is good
though.
VERY
IMPORTANT: Bev's Country Cottage is NOT
affiliated with any specific troop project, so please check with
individual
projects for more specific requirements.

"Bev,
my group here in Texas are making cool ties for several
units we have in Kuwait and Iraq, afghanistan.
I have a texas soldier support group... and we need help
with cool ties, as we need approx 150 ties for all the soldiers.
its very hot there,.
I dont know if you have a place to list the soldier support
on your site.

but its the baby group that are doing the ties. Bluebonnet
babies.

Marine Corps Kids - NEW! (July 2007)
700,000 children in this country
have a parent at war. When babies are born to deployed troops, it's
doubly hard for both mom and dad. This group sends care packages
to the families
of deployed troops when babies are born. The packages might include a
hand-crafted baby afghan, cap or bonnet, booties or toy. With
sufficient resources, we'll also be able to include a handmade toy for
other kids in the family.
