THE RESCUE TASK FORCE

THE RESCUE TASK FORCE provides wounded troops with a backpack as soon as they arrive stateside. It contains all of the essentials to make their first few weeks of treatment more comfortable. It contains about 45 items that are so important to getting things "back to normal." The contents of this backpack includes things like:

• A cell phone
• Phone card
• Shaving equipment and tooth brush and tooth paste
• T-shirts and basketball shorts
• A sweat suit
• Soap
• Socks

• A wrist watch
• A Gameboy
• CD player and music CD's
• Batteries
• Stationary, stamps, pens, and pencils
• Magazines
• Playing cards
• A calendar
