Brooke Army Medical (San Antonio) Could Use Some Stuff

Had an email from Brandon, a veteran/student in Alaska who recently did stories for the university paper on milbloggers and on the late Sgt. Matt Bohling and how my blog put Matt's friends in touch with my son Noah and the soldiers they serve with.

It seems there is a big need for veterans and military families in the San Antonio, TX area... Brooke Army Medical Center and the families staying at the Fisher Houses there. Let's see if we can't do something about it!!

Thank you all for thinking of our wounded,

Here in San Antonio we have a wish list for Santa, will you help?

Assorted board games.. Hasbro or others.. like monopoly, battleship, trivial pursuit, scrabble, chess, clue.. etc.. these are over 32 years old now.. and can be replaced..

Ping pong balls and paddles
Electronic dart boards

2-4 new Game Cube video games .. sports or battle ones

2-4 new X-Box games.. same as above

Presents for family members of soldiers staying at the guest house and Fisher houses.. I didn't get any specific requests.. but it is the thought that counts,
