ACTION ITEM! Help a US Army Chaplain and his troops! UPDATED – PHOTOS!
WDTPRS ^ | May 24, 2014 | Fr. John Zuhlsdorf
As Memorial Day approaches. FOX RIVER has a 30% discount for Memorial Day, which is subtracted at checkout.
One of the most important things that troops on the ground need are good stockings.
Socks. Soldiers. Think about it.
A priest of the Diocese of Madison, Fr. Jason Hesseling, is an Army Chaplain on active duty in Afghanistan (1st BN 3rd SFG (A)). There are 500 soldiers in that unit.
Fr. Hesseling, in conjunction with Fox River, created a site through which YOU, dear readers, can buy socks for the troops!
They need lots o’ socks, friends. They need hundreds.
Why Fox River socks?
Fr. H wrote to me:
I’m very grateful for any publicity you can offer to us, and any support you can throw our way. The guys love these socks, they usually buy them on their own if I can’t supply them since they are rugged, they are battle proven, and they don’t melt or cause further injury when exposed to fire/explosions. Any soldier will tell you that maintaining your feet is almost as important as maintaining your weapon downrange. These socks help in that effort.
Thanks again for all the prayers and support. Blessings in all things…
Sounds like a good guy. It’ll be a couple weeks before I can contribute, but I will look that up a bit later.
