Operation Pocket Field Pillow
|
|
| On May 8th 2012, HRCMOAA Community Affairs, COL David Wade,
USA-Ret., presents a $250 check to Carol Armstrong, Director Operation
Pocket Field Pillow program here in Hampton Roads. Carol began Operation
Pocket Field Pillow as a tribute to her son’s service, and has kept the
project going to show support for all American troops, no matter where
they've served. Most of the pillows have been sent to Infantry, Cavalry
and Artillery troops deployed in the northeast quadrant, but boxes of pillows
were also sent to the east, south and west. These pillows are small enough
to store in a pocket, and are meant to be tough enough for field missions.
To date, PFP has sent 13,370 handmade pillows. |
