BUILDING BACK PACKS FOR
SEVERELY WOUNDED U.S. MILITARY

“When the troops are med-evaced from overseas to our facility due to injuries, they often arrive alone, scared, and without any of their personal belongings.  The backpacks from the Project Not Forgotten and Rescue Task Force provide many of these essential items they have left behind as well as boosting their morale and showing them that their sacrifice is greatly appreciated.”

Severely wounded Marines, Soldiers, Airman and Sailors from the war in Iraq and Afghanistan receive such great medical care that they are often med-evaced within three days of being injured.  In the process they are separated from their personal belongings and arriving stateside in a hospital gown, sometime in the field uniform they were wearing when injured.

Project Not Forgotten and Rescue Task Force delivers Back Packs full of necessities for these brave men and woman including warm sweats, t-shirts, flip flops, full shaving bag and much more. Many go directly into isolation/quarantine.  Each Back Pack also contains “Heart Medicine” - cell phone & minutes, Nintendo DS & games, CD player & CD’s and most important, a letter of Thanks to let them know they are Not Forgotten.

Welcome Home, Thank You For Your Sacrifice…
You Are Not Forgotten!!!

Locally, Project Not Forgotten and Rescue Task Force has also delivered $20,000 worth of television VHS / DVD combo sets to wounded Marines and Sailors at Camp Pendleton and Balboa hospitals.  The TV project was followed-up with thousands of DVD movies and games.Purchased and delivered Play Station II game sets and DVD players for wounded service members hospitalized at Camp Pendleton Hospital.In March we received a semi truck load of donated Nexxus products valued at over $183,000.  The tons of salon grade hair care items were then donated to local military families and local area charities that serve seniors and operate women’s shelters.
