Recent Requests

There is no lack of requests, only lack of resources to keep up with the demand.  We desperately need your help in getting these to our troops.  It is very difficult to have to pick and choose whom I can mail the bandanas to from the long, continuous list and who will have to wait.  Below are a few of the requests we have received in recent weeks.

First of all, I would like to thank you for your patriotic support of our troops. My name is Chaplain (Captain) Sang H. Kim with the 1-77th Field Artillery Battalion, stationed in Iraq for the next 12 months. Our Battalion is in very isolated locations in order to build new FOB's and to provide full spectrum operations to secure the Iraqi population. We would appreciate it if you would please send your Bandanas to our 500 Soldiers. Your generosity will make our continuing mission possible. I look forward to hearing from you. May God bless you.

Do you think I will be receiving the Psalm 91 Bandanas before Christmas?
I will be home for one week (Dec 23) to say goodbye to my family and I will deploy after that.
Merry Christmas.
Chaplain James Delgado

It's been a long time since I talked to you and am just getting back with you on getting some bandanas.  I am now in Taji, Iraq and have a pretty large Battalion...any bandanas would be a blessing to my troops who go out on patrols constantly.
Blessings,

First of all I would like to thank you for the bandanas that you donated to the Chaplain we replaced. The troops loved them and they went quick. We are in charge of 2,000 soldiers who go outside the wire and they love the bandanas. I am wondering if there is any way we could get some more of them. Any amount would be appreciated (especially by our convoy security gunners who ride in the turrets of the gun trucks).

Hello Ma'am!

I am a United States Sailor currently deployed in Iraq.  I've heard that your organization might support us here, send us occasional bandanas.  Just wondering how to sign up if it's the case.
 

Thank you very much Ma'am!

The 2nd BCT, 1st Infantry Division ("Dagger"Brigade) from Schweinfurt, Germany, just moved to Grafenwoehr and reflagged as the 172nd Infantry Brigade ("Blackhawks".) You may remember hearing stories about them in Iraq last year; they lost a whole lot of soldiers during their last deployment, and just returned home this past November.  Here is a Stars & Stripes newspaper article about their brigade:

"Europe's Deadliest Deployment," Stars and Stripes Newspaper, Aug 5, 2007
Since I believe so strongly that scripture is powerful, I'd really like to see them all armed with it this time around! A brigade typically has about 4500 soldiers, but I'll try to come up with a more accurate count as soon as I can. Let me know what our community can do to help and I'd appreciate anything your organization could do to help these soldiers deploying again this Fall to be armed with God's Word.

I am a Chaplain for 300 soldiers which will be deploying together on or about Nov 2008.  If you can help with as many Bandanas as you can that would be a blessing.

¨¨¨

I am wanting to order some boxes of bandanas for our Brigade and would like to know what is needed for this.

¨¨¨

I have just arrived here in Iraq and saw the bandana's you have sent. If it is possible I would like to be able to give them to my soldiers as well. I am in a joint infantry/Armor Battalion. Please let me now the process in being able to receive these PS 91 bandana's from you!
God bless...

¨¨¨

I could not believe it, I have ran out of bandanas and it is hot hot hot here! Would you be able to send some of those wonderful bandanas to me. It is great to be able to see God's word being spread to our soldiers. I could use 250 if you send that many!

¨¨¨

I was wondering what a unit would have to do to request the Psalm 91bandanas for our Brigade here is Mosul, Iraq. Thank you.

¨¨¨

Your generosity and prayers are a beacon for us overseas. I had the great blessing of receiving a bandana from a friend of mine shortly before coming here. It has been a blessing to me and I knew that it would also bless others. We are in Tallil Iraq. We will be gratefull for whatever you can send. Thank you so much for your ministry and support of America's soldiers.

I am writing on behalf of my battalion chaplain to request information on ordering some bandanas for my unit, as we will be deploying sometime late this year. We will be deploying soon and would want to get 900 of the bandanas. Could you please send me information on how to order these specifically for our unit?

¨¨¨

I am in the need for more bandanas. Can I possible get another 500?

¨¨¨

Friends,

Please send me as many bandanas as you can. Thank you. This is very much appreciated by our Soldiers.   Task Force Currahee, Afghanistan

First I would like to THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR WHAT YOU ARE DOING FOR OUR TROOPS . Next I would like to ask you if you would please send some Bandanas to my son in laws troops he is over. He is over a group of 50 plus men I think it is a total of 55 with him. There is also a another group of 50 plus men who live in the same tents but he is not over them another Leader is over them. If i could I would send money to you for this but I am handicap and have no income I am praying that someone will donate enough money so this is possible .
