To: Knitting A Conundrum

I've been wanting to crochet Afghans for our wounded soldiers in hospitals. My problem is, when I'm finished with two or three, where and how do I send them?

Freeper Marmar, I believe, works at a military hospital in...Germany? She might be able to suggest something.

There are several programs out there doing things for our troops. Here's one link:

(this one is more for slippers and socks)

There are others I have seen, but this was a quick list.

contact your local V.A. Hospital....I make 'troop pillows' and when I get a bunch done, I take them to my local V.A. Hospital and they hand them out....

I always print up a card with each one, and sign it..."A Grateful Angel" it goes really well from what the nurses tell me when I deliver a bunch of them...
