The Armed Forces Retirement Home in DC. |
2005-09-08 |
DC has received 146 evacuees from the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport, MS. As we all know, these evacuees are soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen that have retired many years ago, and the Armed Forces Retirement Home was their only home. Now "Hurricane Katrina" left them with nothing. DC has rooms for these folks, however, the rooms are completely bare except for a single bed. The evacuees are in need of some basic necessities, as well as a few niceties. I am sending this e-mail with the link from the AFRH Home Page out of DC. There are links that give you two lists of items. They could use any of the items on either list. |

#1 Hey DC Rantburgers...let's pitch in on this. Put a note here if you've got some time this weekend. We owe these vets a debt of more than gratitude. |
