Be Santa for the Wounded At Brooke Army Medical Center
We need some Santas to help out this year.

Received this call from Soldiers' Angels to help support the wounded and their families at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas. If you can, please help make the holidays a bit brighter for them:

Thank you all for thinking of our wounded,

Here in San Antonio we have a wish list for Santa:

Assorted board games.. Hasbro or others.. like monopoly, battleship, trivial pursuit, scrabble, chess, clue.. etc.. these are over 32 years old now.. and can be replaced...
Pool sticks ( we have dozens of tables)
Ping pong balls and paddles
Electronic dart boards


2-4 new Game Cube video games .. sports or battle ones
2-4 new X-Box games.. same as above

personnel hygiene products.. almost anything.. There is always a use..

Adaptive sports equipment... Bikes, wheelchairs ( for basketball) etc

Presents for family members of soldiers staying at the guest house and Fisher houses.. I didn't get any specific requests.. but I could find something..

10 children (1-5 yrs)... half boy and half girls
9 children (6-11) 8 boys, 1 girl
3 (13, 14 15) teens (2 girls and one boy)
