SPECIAL DELIVERY PACKED WITH
LOVE.
WHETHER WE PACK ONE OR 500.
OR 100.
DOESN'T MATTER.
JUST MATTERS THAT YOU KEEP DOING
IT.
HOW THIS FORCE FOR GOOD IS
HELPING TO SUPPORT OUR TROOPS
STATIONED OVERSEAS.
WE KNOW FOR THE MEN AND WOMEN
SERVING OVERSEAS THE THING THAT
THEY MISS MOST IS THE WARMTH AND
COMFORT OF HOME.
OUR TROOPS ARE NOT ONLY
SACRIFICING THEIR LIVE FOR OUR
FREEDOM BUT THEY HAVE TO
SACRIFICE LIFE'S NECESSITIES.
AND AS CHUCK GAIDICA SHOWS US
ONE WOMAN'S FORCE FOR GOOD
BRINGS A SMILE TO TROOPS.
IT WAS AN IDEA THAT LOUISE
GOT 15 YEARS AGO.
HELPING A FRIEND'S SON SERVING
OVERSEAS BY PACKING A BOX OF
MEMORIES.
ONE BOX TURNED INTO.
TWO TWO TURNED INTO THREE.
AND THREE TURNED INTO HUNDREDS.
GRIPING.
STUFFING.
AND STACKING.
THIS GYM FLOOR IS JUST THE FIRST
STOP IN A LONG OVERSEAS JOURNEY
FOR THESE BOXES.
ALL PACKED LOVINGLY, BY THE
DESERT ANGELS.
TO GET A BOX, FILLED WITH
HOME, WITH LOVE, WITH
INSTANT BOX.
IT IS A MIRACLE.
THE MIRACLE BOXES DESERT
ANGEL PACKS ARE NAMED AFTER
PRIVATE FIRST-CLASS JOE A
MIRACLE.
LOCAL SOLDIER THAT ORTONVILLE
KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY.
BACK IN 2007.
WE HAD HEARD MIRACLES COME
OUT OF THESE BOXES.
MIRACLE STORIES.
LOUISE BLAINE IS FOUNDER OF
DESERT ANGELS.
SHE PLANS TO KEEP SENDING
MIRACLE BOXES OVERSEAS UNTIL
EVERY SOLDIER HAS RETURNED HOME.
EVERYBODY WANTS TO HELP
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS.
THEY JUST DON'T KNOW HOW.
SO SHE DECIDED TO HOLD
PACKING PARTIES EVERY MONTH.
AND EVERYONE CAN ATTEND.
EVERYBODY KNOWS WE WILL DO
THIS.
EVERY MONTH.
AND IT COULD BE GIRL SCOUTS.
IT COULD BE BOY SCOUTS.
IT COULD BE A VET.
YOU KNOW, IT COULD BE ONE OF OUR
TROOPS THAT RECEIVED OUR BOXES.
IT COULD BE YOU.
I MEAN, IT IS A MIRACLE.
EIGHTH GRADERS AT DETROIT
COUNTRY DAY MIDDLE SCHOOL SPEND
THE AFTERNOON WITH LOUISE
HELPING HER TO ORGANIZE THE
DONATIONS AND PACK THE BOXES.
PACK THEM UP.
SEAL THEM UP.
PUT IN LETTERS AND SEND THEM OFF
TO SOLDIERS.
PUTTING IN BASIC NECESSITIES.
PUTTING IN JUST SNACKS, AND
GRANOLA BARS.
TOOTHPASTE.
AND TOILETRIES, SHAMPOO.
AND THERE WERE NAPKINS.
AND THEN PLAYING CARDS AND
MAGAZINES FOR LEISURE TIME.
SOCKS, THEY NEED THOSE.
TOILETRIES.
SWEET THINGS LIKE SNACK FRUIT.
IMPORTANT TO SUPPORT PEOPLE
OVERSEAS.
WHAT SURPRISED ME IS WHAT WE
HAVE HERE THAT WE TAKE FOR
GRANTED.
THEY ACTUALLY DO NOT HAVE OVER
THERE.
SO IT WAS REALLY NICE TO SEE
WHAT WE COULD SEND.
BESIDES THE FOOD AND GOODIES
LOUISE SAID THERE IS SOMETHING
SPECIAL IN EACH BOX.
THE LETTER OF LOVE.
AND IT IS JUST KNOWING THAT THEY
ARE NOT FORGOTTEN.
EVERY VOLUNTEER WRITES ONE.
DEAR SOLDIER.
THANK YOU FOR SERVING OUR
COUNTRY.
I KNOW YOU MUST MISS YOUR FAMILY
AND FRIENDS.
WE WILL BE SENDING YOU ITEMS, I
HOPE YOU CAN ENJOY OUR GIFT.
DESERT ANGELS NEVER EXPECTS
TO HEAR BACK FROM THE TROOPS BUT
OFTEN DOES.
I JUST THINK THAT THIS IS
REALLY GOOD WAY THAT WE CAN SHOW
PRIDE FOR OUR COUNTRY AND
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS.
WE ALL CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
EVEN IN OUR COUNTRY.
WITH WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR
COUNTRY.
THE -- EVERYBODY CAN DO
SOMETHING.
FIND SOMETHING AND MAKE A
POSITIVE FORCE FOR GOOD.
DESERT ANGELS IS 100 PERCENT
NON-PROFIT.
