When soldiers are wounded in Iraq, they are taken to the hospital where their clothing is removed and they are given a hospital gown. (The kind that is slit up the backside) The trek to the hospital does not include stopping and getting an extra set of clothing ~ so our Heroes are left standing around with their bare bottoms playing peek-a-boo with every step they take.
You know how demeaning hospital gowns can be ~ Remember walking down a crowed hallway, feeling a cold draft up your backside? Then remembering...oops the world is able to see my derrière? Our brave men and women deserve better. With your help, we can give them a little dignity as they recover from injuries sustained in IRAQ.
Our goal is to collect 5,000 sleep pants and t-shirts. We will package a set in 2 gallon sealable bags with a card wishing them rapid recovery and letting them know since they've got our backs its time for us to step up and cover theirs!

THE GOAL: we want to accomplish this by March 31, 2008
How can you help? Organize a pajama party where people can drop off t-shirts and sleep pants and stay and package them or have others willing to do the packing. This is going to be fun and it is a great opportunity for groups to work together.
