SSgt Faye D. H. from Ramstein Air Base (Germany), a volunteer, was setting up the tables for the upcoming event - everyone brought some homemade, delicious foods along
All done and just in time 
Wounded heros and the wonderful + dedicated staff of Landstuhl (LRMC) were dropping in over the course of the afternoon, till the late evening hours
before todays event we received a somewhat unusual request: some of the staff at LRMC asked if we had t-shirts or posters which they could wear or put on display for us… hmmmmmm… no we didn’t, but it didn’t take long till Karl Heinz (one of our regular volunteers) jumped right in and answered the call - his words were: just mail me the logo and I get it done…. within one week we received a box of t-shirts sponsored by
here is Karl Heinz presenting his donation
….well, once passed out, one of the staff members was already showing off in it
with the official festivities winding down, it was time to get everything ready to go up to the wards and to hand out food, get well cards, blankets and our goodie bags to the staff and wounded who weren’t able to leave their stations
Karolina, Barbara, her daughter Kayleigh and Dianna with her daughter (back) are doing all the lugging while I am busy taking this photo… he he
Willie (middle) spent a lot of time to prepare all the goodie bags which we were passing out that day
… and Dianna, an Elementary School teacher, made sure we had enough “get well” cards to go around - her and her class did an awesome job
