United We Roll at Stardust Radio

I am sure that many of you are familiar with Soldiers' Angels and know that this group provides a variety of support for our military members and families. You may not be aware that there is a chapter of Soldiers' Angels in Germany with volunteers who actually live there. They work very hard in conjunction with the US Angels to help wounded and ill members who are receiving treatment at Landsthul and will either return to the USA or go back to their unit.

In order to get wounded members to treatment as quickly as possible, they are transported in exactly what they are wearing at the time they are injured. There is no time to pack a bag for them, so it is extremely helpful to provide them with items that will help their stay and/or the rest of their journey to be more comfortable. At this time, the German chapter of the Soldiers' Angels is in need of help to add to their supplies so they can continue to help our Heroes.

Below is a link to the Soldiers Angels of Germany Blog where you can read much more information and, for a quick reference, I have copied the list of items that are needed as well as instructions and address. NOTE THE STATEMENT BELOW: Please do not send items not on this list. If you have any questions, please refer to the blog for more information and an address to send your questions.

Thank you from your Stardust Family for reaching out to help the Angels and to bring comfort to our wounded/ill troops. God Bless You!

SSG Tim Chambers has stood in the heat and weather for 3-4 hours without a break or even an opportunity to relax his salute during the last 8 years at Rolling Thunder in Wash DC. This he does out of love, honor and respect for those who have fallen while protecting our freedom. You can see a video from this year's event - and I can't imagine any true American being able to view this without being deeply touched. I have found myself watching this several times -each time, turning off the TV and any other noisemakers, so I can focus totally on the sound from the video - the engines, the muted voices, the cheer of the crowd and the ever so gentle strain of music that was perfectly selected for this piece. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gfnmDGk0KM Rolling Thunder 2010 – A Marine’s Vigil

SSG Chambers is tremendously dedicated to programs that will educate our children about their gift of freedom, keeping our living Veterans also in our hearts and remembered with cards and activities and so much more.

SSG Tim Chambers is not only an exemplary Marine, he is also an exemplary American from whom we all can learn. If we gave 1% of the effort that this Marine does, we would be making our country better, acknowledging those who protect us and our families and reaping the magnificent rewards of being involved in the preservation of the American Way of Life.

Semper Fi, SSG Chambers. Thank You and God Bless You!!!

Note: We will be bringing a visit with SSG Chambers to United We Roll in the immediate future
