Transitional Backpacks and Blankets of Hope make a difference for wounded soldiers in Iraq

"Unfortunately, we had a busy day yesterday. I was able to use two of the backpacks for injured soldiers, and provided some clothes to their translator who was also injuried. This soldier was very pleased with the backpack and the contents that was in the bag. He loved the blanket, and got a little mad at himself when he got some blood on it. He was surprised that it was handmade, and very impressed that it was red, white, and blue. He was discharged back to his unit.

The other soldier loved his blanket too." - Major Mike
