God bless that kid, she's a sweet little angel.
This is a wonderful report !
I always wonder how one can send items such as these to the troops , if it is your own small idea and you are not part of some organization ?
I am always hearing of these great civic actions , often initiated by big hearted children.
Who does one contact ? How to send such donations ? and to where?
I think all actual unit location is classified , as well it should be , but how do these kids know where to send things?
I am genuinely curious !
I work for DoD. The amount of alkaline AA and AAA throwaway batteries needed for a one week mission is bulky and cumbersome. They need rechargeable NiMH AA and AAA cells. Frontline soldiers have chargers that operate from larger batteries and AC sources. Many of the new soldier worn devices and rifle mounted devices are using AA or AAA 1.5 VDC cells. Also send in the Eveready L.91 AA lithium cells. It has twice the operating time of alkaline AA cells and the cell design can cope with the high temperature conditions without swelling and leaking. The reason it is not used widely is unit cost. The rechargeable NiMH and the longer life lithium throwaway AA battery is the better product to send to our Iraqi fighting troops. Spread the word freepers!!
I never hear of these things happening anywhere but in the USA.
