Thousands of Angels Seeking Help with Getting Holiday Stockings for the Troops
Soldiers' Angels launch Operation Holiday Spirit
(PRWEB) October 7 , 2004 -- Having a must do mindset the members of Soldiers' Angels have made it their number one priority to get Christmas stockings to all of the men and women deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan and other parts of the world during this upcoming holiday season. What started as a small wish of Patti Patton-Bader, the founder, has sparked attention from several large corporations, a radio-talk show personality, and a Hollywood actor.
Also in this campaign is the efforts of VFW in Centerreach, New York who has agreed to pack all of the stockings.Soldiers' Angels, a non profit organization started by a mother whose son informed her that members of his unit were not receiving mail from home. The organization has been sending letters and care packages to our men and women of the military since June of 2003. " no soldier go unloved" has been Patti Patton-Bader's motto since the beginning of what started out as one woman's dream has grown to over 14, 000 members supporting our military. To date the organization has about 10,000 military members in its adoption program. While the numbers keep growing everyday the members have not lost focus of their mission and that is to "provide aid and comfort to our military"
Since starting the Stockings for Troops campaign the organization has received 331 cases of items from Neutrogena they plan on putting in the Christmas stockings. AT&T, the only carrier whose phone cards work from many locations where our military are currently deployed. Ms. Patton-Bader and the rest of the Angels believe that if our military cannot be home for the holidays, they can a bit of home to our military. Between now and November 20th Soldiers' Angels hopes to send 140, 000 Christmas stockings to the military men and women defending our countrites freedom far from home. The organization would like to fill each stocking with a card of encoragement, an AT&T phone card, some holiday candy, hot chocolate packets, instant soup, a sand scarf, and other holiday items.

Syrian border village is caught in the cross-fire
Syria Villagers in this tiny hamlet abutting the Syrian-Iraqi border no longer wait for the call to prayer to mark the end of the daily fast for Ramadan. Instead, sundown arrives in tandem with an eruption of mortar rounds and gunfire between Iraqi insurgents and the American forces stationed right next door.
.
"Even before the muezzin cries out 'Alluhu Akbar' we start hearing the bombs and shelling," said Fayad al-Hussein, the owner of a one-story cement house with an unexploded mortar round in his front yard and a view of the American flag flapping over a small base some 200 meters, or 650 feet, away in the Iraqi town of Qaim.
.
"Now, just 10 minutes before the call to prayer, we gather all the children into the house because we are pretty sure there will be a firefight just as soon as the iftar starts," he added, using the Arabic for the sunset meal....more

U.S. Troops Reinforce After Falluja Air Strike

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. troops cut roads and reinforced positions around Falluja Tuesday after an air strike aimed at Arab militants said to roam the rebel-held city.
Witnesses said U.S. tanks and armored vehicles blocked the main highway to Jordan that runs just north of Falluja, as warplanes criss-crossed the skies. Troops took up positions in empty buildings on the Sunni Muslim city's southern perimeter.
A civilian driver was shot dead near a U.S. checkpoint on the highway, witnesses said. The military said it was checking the report. Only one road leading northwest out of Falluja, 50 km (32 miles) west of Baghdad, was open to civilian traffic.
Many families have already fled Falluja fearing a widely expected U.S. assault designed to bring the city under the interim government's control before elections due in January.
The U.S. military said it had carried out a "precision strike" at 3 a.m. (0000 GMT) on a safe house used by al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's network in Falluja, killing one of his aides. It did not name the man or state his nationality.
Residents said one house was destroyed and three damaged in the strike. Hospital officials reported no casualties.
It was the second time in a few days the military had claimed to have eliminated a Zarqawi associate without identifying him. Saturday it said it had captured a "senior leader" of the group in a raid in southern Falluja.
Interim Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari said the government was seeking a political solution in Falluja to "separate the local population from the foreign fighters, the terrorists."
"We are trying to exhaust all political channels and avenues before any final decision is made," he told the BBC.
Zebari said a failed U.S. assault on Falluja in April was "mismanaged," after a lack of consultation with Iraqi leaders.
