To date, we have shipped 14,525 wheelchairs to US military forces in Iraq.
When we started this program, they estimated that Iraq needs about 500,000 wheelchairs. This update just came to us this week from US Army Captain Colin J. McElroy, Civil Affairs advisor for the 3rd Iraqi Army Division (IA) stationed in Al Kasik, Iraq.
There is a subtle statement in Captain Colin’s message below that deserves mention. Imagine how well appreciated care packages from home are to our soldiers in Iraq. Note the sacrifice Captain Colin’s Civil Affairs team is making, giving up their care packages to help bond trust and cooperation! That is commendable!
